T6 Engine Cover - standard or option?

[GilesT6]

Is an engine cover optional? Or do they all come with an engine cover out of the factory?

Mine hasn’t got one and just said to Leighton vans it’s missing and they replied it’s an optional extra is this true?

Thanks

Yes it's true, a few people on here have fitted them afterwards though, it's not a difficult job.

They're £81 and the forum shop is as cheap as anywhere: Genuine Volkswagen Transporter T6 Engine Bay Cover & Fixing Kit

Seems weird that vw don't finish the job off themselves. I thought mine had been left off when i bought it last week but i was also informed that they dont give you an engine cover or a service history book.

It’s shocking you have to tidy up VW’s work when you pay so much money for them
If you payed £40k + for a Mercedes or BMW you would be Pis..d off
