Installation recommendations

Generally/typically for the engine cover, the exact method of attachment may vary depending on the specific design of the car and engine. Before assembly itself, it is therefore always necessary to compare the used part with the original piece.

1) Before assembly

• Check the engine cover for cracks, broken mounts or excessively worn seating areas.
• Compare the shape, dimensions, location of attachment points and any holes with the original part.
• Check the engine for damaged or missing fasteners from the old cover.
• Before installation, clean the installation area of dust, oil deposits and loose dirt.

2) Necessary tools and materials

• Basic set of common hand tools
• Clean rag or shop towels
• A gentle cleaning agent suitable for automotive parts
• Work gloves
• Or a plastic crowbar for gentle handling

3) Step-by-step assembly procedure

1. Shut off the engine and allow it to cool sufficiently.
2. Open the engine compartment and access the place where the cover will be installed.
3. If the old cover is installed, carefully remove it without damaging the surrounding parts and fasteners.
4. Check the condition of the fastening points on the vehicle and on the cover.
5. Clean the seating surfaces and remove dirt that would prevent proper seating.
6. Place the used motor cover in place and check without force that it fits correctly at all contact points.
7. Align the cover to the correct position according to the attachment of the original part.
8. Sequentially secure all attachment points so that the cover sits evenly.
9. When installing, do not press one-sidedly on the plastic parts to avoid cracking or deformation.
10. After fixing, check that the cover does not rub anywhere, is not crooked, and is firmly in place.
• 4) Post-assembly checks and function verification
  • After assembly, visually verify the proper seating of the cover.
  • Check that the cover is not loose and does not move excessively when lightly pressed.
  • After starting, observe whether there are any unusual vibrations or contact of the cover with surrounding parts.
  • After a short drive or after the engine has warmed up, check the seating and stability of the part again.

  5) The most common assembly mistakes + how to avoid them

  • Exchanging the part by appearance – always compare the number 013789 and the shape of the attachment.
  • Mounting on dirty seating surfaces – clean everything carefully before seating.
  • Applying force – if the cover does not fit naturally, recheck the position and fit.
  • Insufficient post-installation inspection – after first warm-up of the engine, check that the cover fits properly and does not vibrate.

  Reasons why the part is damaged

  • Damage or cracking during careless disassembly or assembly
  • Long-term exposure to heat and vibrations in the engine compartment
  • Breaking of fastening points due to the age of the material
  • Mechanical damage during service interventions around the engine
  • Contact with dirt, oil or other operational deposits that accelerate plastic wear
