...from the plug cover!

Only just noticed that I only have 2 bolts holding on the plug cover, am sure there should be four, so where did they go and will my dealer replace them?

Can anybody confirm the correct number please.

 

Four hex socket head bolts:

 

Cheers P1. Will call dealer in morning.

 

I lost those two as well - I heard them 'ping' out

According to my dealer it's not uncommon, they even told me that they'd seen a car with all four missing and the plug cover was wedged in the engine bay

They advised using some threadlock.

I am really suprised to hear of these popping out, I nearly bust a gut trying to get them loose the first time!! They came unlocked with a 'snap' but once loosened I guess they could work loose again.... I am unsure why your dealer would have had the cover off the car, 03 models didn't need the sparkplug mod did they? Have you had a 27k service recently?

Anyhow, should be cheap as chips to replace if they don't warranty the replacements.

Good luck,

Tif

 

Car has not been serviced, so cover has not been off car.

Amazed it took me this long to notice.

Dealer sending out 2 new ones today!
