Kodiaq VRS TSI Engine cover?

[Brookie72]

Hello all, 

 

I recently took delivery of my second Kodiaq VRS, this time its the petrol TSI. 

My question is does the engine have a cover on the TSI like the BiTDI did?

 

Opened up the engine bay for the first time to see this earlier. 

 

Is this normal?

 

Cheers for any help

The dealer will have removed during the PDI as there is a recall on them due to the possibility that the cover can come loose, drop onto the turbo and catch fire.  In theory they are revising the part to overcome this so you 'should' get a revised part fitted at some stage but probably best to check with the supplying dealer (Rainworth / Bickertons?)

Welcome to the forum.

 

A 'upgraded' replacement cover should be coming to you at no cost eventually, but then the salesperson doing the handover should have known that and told you.
