Engine Covers

[abbs_172]

In PGTI some of the 172s have covers over there engines and I want to know what they are and why my 172 hasnt got 1!

Theres also a 172 there without the cover it goes around the top of the engine block!

Help Im curious!

The cup doesnt have one to save weight!! How ridiculous is that!!!!

Yeah the Cup doesnt come with the cover. You could always buy one but I guess it will set you back a bit!

does seem a bit ridiculous but its true, no cover for the cup!

The covers are approx £70.00 plus vat from Renault and come complete with the oil filler cover. We can supply a color code cover for any of the 172s Cup or otherwise on an exchange basis or outright. info@hillpower.co.uk

Yes please Id like a nice heavy duty clear perspex engine cover for mine, even with Hill Power sticker on it.

Well thanks Guys for the Help to save weight are you having a laugh!

My Cup feels slow at the moment best not add too much weight!

N.D Hill what do you mean on an exchange basis?

How much packaging? Are they easy to fit?

abbs.... I lost the engine cover on my 172 twice, one feel off and the other was broken by a dealer.

They nicked one from a showroom car for me and fitted it in a jiffy, so I guess its an easy job.

I have heard that Hill Powers covers are somewhat more durable. Oh and those Ive seen look very neat.

Cheers!

Will think about purchasing one from Reno or Hill power depending on Price etc!

Who needs a cover? Does it make your car faster? My money says it is only marginally more effective than the ecotek valve!
