ECS Textured Black Engine Cover - 1.8 / 2.0 TSI (EA888 Gen1) PQ35

Our ECS Tuning Textured Black Engine Cover transforms the engine bay in your VW MK6 GTI, GLI or similar 2.0T TSI transverse VW/Audi model 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. Between service top-offs can be completed with the engine cover in place as we designed ample clearance for the oil fill cap and dipstick. Exposed ignition coil cutouts allow for visibility of upgraded coil packs and a decorative aluminum logo plate tops off 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 for timeless appeal and décor 

• 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 

PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT

• Our ECS Textured Black Engine Cover was designed, engineered, tested and quality inspected by our Research and Development team in our Wadsworth, Ohio facility. We strive for the highest level of precision and quality through leading-edge product development technology including FARO laser scanning for reverse engineering and quality inspection, SolidWorks 3D CAD modeling, rapid prototyping utilizing our in-house 3D printer, and rigorous long term product testing.

INSTALLATION AND SUPPORT

• Pre-installed engine cover mounting grommets snap right over the factory ball studs. The ECS Engine Cover can then be installed or removed just like the factory cover without any further tools needed. 

• * While removing the engine cover, please pull from the underside mounting post area during removal to avoid any potential damage. 

• ** Other brand underhood parts may or may not fit with our engine cover such as oil catch can systems, intake systems, boost taps, etc.

• *** For vehicles using the factory intake pipe, a spacer is included for proper engine cover to inlet pipe clearance.  Installed where the pipe mounts, it pushes the tube away from the cover

• **** When installing with our ECS Boost Tap (ES#2718328) and using both vacuum nipples, there may be slight interference between the plastic securing clip and the Engine Cover. To correct this, please use low profile clip (ES#25115) to secure the Boost Tap in place of the plastic connector clip.
