Karen W Posted May 9, 2017 Report Share Posted May 9, 2017 Hi The garage have managed to lose my lower timing belt cover. Local VW dealer advises there are none 'in stock' in the UK and it is going to take up to 3 weeks! Does anyone have a 'spare' timing belt cover (lower cover) or one from a Lupo that they are breaking please? Thank you. Karen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mk2 Posted May 9, 2017 Report Share Posted May 9, 2017 (edited) I wonder how common this is...? When I got my second SDI, it too had the lower cam belt cover completely mashed. I eventually had to go to Vdub, as people don't like to separate them from engines they have for sale (even though most people change the cam belt before they fit a new engine- and can use the old cover). cost me about £30 in the end. But I am trying to get my car back to mint condition again.... Oh by the way, if you have an auto gearbox, be sure to get it serviced- everyone forgets to do it- just needs a fluid/oil and filter change just like the engine.

Mobieus_uk Posted May 10, 2017 Report Share Posted May 10, 2017 Makes you wonder about the garage if they manage to lose a cover, sure its not wedged in the engine bay someware, wouldn't be surprised if its still on the car, its easy to place things around the engine bay then forget Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted May 10, 2017 Report Share Posted May 10, 2017 fair bit of effort to refit, assuming that's a freebie? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karen W Posted May 10, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2017 Hi. Thanks for comments. The top belt cover was in the back of the car when I went to collect it from garage! Not sure why they removed it (they were cleaning engine and checking oil leak problem). Garage have been quite dismissive - 'There wasn't one on there.' etc. They say they have checked workshop and don't have it so I need to source a replacement and I don't trust them to find one. Once sourced, they have agreed to fit it FOC. Have checked engine bay and can't see it ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted May 10, 2017 Report Share Posted May 10, 2017 I have one sitting there on a shelf from a gti. I can imagine they are all the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose that's the best outcome if the garage are paying. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
