B58 Engine Cover

[DoubleDoom]

My B58 engine cover has not been replaced as far as I’m aware and I’ve not been contacted regarding a service campaign.

I wasn't contacted either. It was at the first service, and she said it was on the to-do list. I must open the bonnet and take a look, though, as three other things on the to-do list were not completed, and it needs to go back.

I thought it was only B57 engines had the cowling issue ?. Make sure they check the to do list more thoroughly this time inc the front prop shaft just in case.

I take my B57 in for its 2nd year service next week, I'll check if my engine cover gets replaced.

My B58 engine cover was replaced by the dealer last month under a service bulletin. So, there must be another issue if this isn't the same one (or the dealer messed up. They made a point of contacting me to say they had the engine cover in stock when going through the things that needed looking at).

Oh that's interesting, I'd like to see that bulletin if you have it.

I didn't see any bulletin. I booked the car in for an annual service, and when going through my list of issues, I was told they had a new engine cover in for me as it was on their list of campaign items.

I took mine off so I can quickly check components when the hood is open. Do we really need an engine cover?

Two attachment points on the OEM B58 engine cover failed on my G. During a recent visit to the dealership, I asked whether a new engine cover would be covered under warranty. The dealership’s response was, “No, but we would be happy to order a new one for you at a cost of approximately $700.”

My answer: “No, thank you.”

No was the correct answer by you, but it's a headscratcher to me why this wouldn't be covered under warranty. What was the dealer's logic?

Does it potentially cause the hood to get too hot damaging the paint?

 

[jvkintheusa]

Not sure. I mean the hood has already insulation

I took mine off when I first got the truck over a year ago because I never think that a "pretty" heat blanket benefits an intercooled turbo motor , and despite living in NM, the hood doesn't get any warmer than with the cover, and no paint damage at all to the Scottish White color, your mileage ( and/or darker colors) may vary

Why would someone pay $700.00 for a piece of plastic? You can buy brand new Carbon Fiber for a fraction.
