Hi all,
I guess some of you got their BS without the engine cover ... not a mistake, but they simply stopped including it. For the ones who got it after complaining or ordering it separately, the installation can be confusing. Here are some tips and instructions that are simply not mentioned with the kit.
Mine included the actual cover - a insulator/spacer - 3 short ball studs - 1 long one - an oil intake extender.
The oil intake spout/extender and the long ball stud were useless since they were already present ... so unnecessary cost.
The insulator/spacer is completely useless since the extra space requires longer studs and leaves the oil intake and dip stick way down and hidden.
Then the damn thing did not want to fit at the right / back corner where the long stud supposed to go.
Here is the solution after search online:
The bracket at that location, holding a couple of wires, needs to be removed so the cover can lower into place. That bracket has a little notch which needs to be pried open before you can slide the bracket up and out of the way. Mine broke, but that's ok ... no need for it anymore.
Please see attached JX6Z6A9498 PDF. (strangely the third, short ball stud and it's location is not mentioned in this file. Its in the lower/front, right, actually more mid right)
I don't blame the dealership since all this is new to them as well. I'll get the useless parts refunded. But it all came in one package/kit.
Well, it's installed and one could call it a 'beauty cover' - not sure what use it has, but I wanted it for the looks.
Good luck.
