Hey everyone,

so today i go to check my oil on my engine, and i noticed that my engine cover has some how pushed itself up and in the process has dislodged the intake for the turbo, i can't understand how this has happened it appears that the screws holding the cover down have come off, i checked my oil about 2 weeks ago and everything was fine. Now i don't think this is a huge issue but its very annoying regardless, i plan to take it to my dealer to fix (hopefully they do not give me a hard time) Just wondering if anyone else has noticed there intake or cover causing an issue, because to be honest it looks pretty flimsy and weak.

Edit: i did have work done on my car by my dealer after about a week of buying it so maybe they just did not install it back correctly and after time this became a problem.

 

Sounds Right to me. I have taken the cover/air-box off before and its not an easy task. So if the didn't put it back correctly I could see that happening.

 

Relocating the engine cover requires a little, uhh, lubrication. To get the outies to fully insert in the innies, use something non-petroleum based like silicone spray or Pledge, make sure you line up the naughtybits and push firmly.

 

Make sure you don't try to do this over the winter in cold weather without warming up the car. These things will crack when it gets cold.
