T5 Removal engine / belt covers

domhart10 · Aug 17th, 2017, 12:55

Hey guys,

Am looking to clean up the engine bay on the car now and was looking at degreasing and painting up the engine covers a bit. Does anyone know if these come off easily?

Looking to remove the timing belt cover and give that a paint too, will let me have a good look and check everything is ok while I take these off

I have the 2.4 so I can't help with any other covers the T5 might have, but as far as I remember from when I did the cam-belt change the timing belt cover is just a couple of bolts and then working the top section up and away from the bottom section. Certainly I do not recall there being anything complicated about it!

Hope that is of some help!
