Scuttle covers

Recommended Posts

Hi all

 

Should there be a plastic scuttle cover sheilding the wiper motor and motronic module on a VR6? There is a small one on the passenger side but the rest of the scuttle area is exposed. I tried to get one but the dealer claims VW never fitted one. There must be one surely? Seems silly leaving everything exposed to the elements like that! Not to mention looking horrible.

 

If there is one, could someone do me a huge favour and get the part number from it?

 

Thanks

They are the the mouldings that sit under the wipers unfortunately.

 

Why VW were happy to leave the wiper motor etc exposed is a mystery and it looks a bloody mess when the bonnet is up to.

 

Reckon I might try the MK2 Golf conversion.

I'm thinking about making an alloy cover that covers the whole lot which will not only look trick but serve a pupose as well, the thing with the plastic covers is that they go very brittle and crack over time and start to leak!! I ve seen a few alloy ones on golfs and they look pretty good I cant see it being that difficult cutting a sheet of ally to size and to make up some brackets to hold it in place!!!
