Our ECS Tuning Textured Black Engine Cover transforms the engine bay in your VW/Audi MQB Gen3 vehicle?with sharp styling, covering what needs covered and leaving the rest to the already-great appearance of the engine bay.?Our?design features incorporate the factory intake manifold design elements, while covering the unsightly, plastic parts that are often difficult to keep clean. Oil changes and between service top-offs can be completed with the engine cover in place as we designed ample clearance for the oil filter housing, dipstick and oil fill cap.?Exposed ignition cutouts allow for visibility of upgraded coil packs. Finally a decorative aluminum logo plate completes the design.?

PART DESIGN
Designed and engineered in-house using?FARO laser scanning for reverse engineering and?SolidWorks 3D CAD modeling for precision fitment?
Made from a?high temperature engineered thermoplastic to withstand extreme engine bay temperatures?
OE-type textured matte black material specifically chosen to match OEM underhood components for OE+ appearance?
A brushed?aluminum logo plate, featuring a screen-printed ECS Tuning logo, is pre-installed onto the engine cover using stainless hardware and high temperature 3M adhesive for timeless appeal and d?cor?
Pre-installed billet aluminum mounting posts bolt on to the engine cover?to avoid potential bonding adhesive failure at high temperatures
Further design considerations were strategically made such as clearance for "most" aftermarket intake systems and ECS catch can hoses
