New Owner Question

[rodge55]

Hi all
Ive just purchased a 2002 Allroad 2.5 TDI and love it, however I have a really stupid question to ask. How do you remove the engine cover there doesnt appear to be any fixings and someone has tried to pull it upwards and caused the start of a crack so dont wanna pull too hard, any ideas please ??

hmmmm if you have the same cover as my old 98 then you should see four circular caps that cover four retaining bolts!

Welcome to the forum!

Nope, no circular marks at all. Its silver with a black centre panel with the logo and 2.5 V6 on it and two bumps on the front right. Absolutely no fixings visible at all .

This is the same as my engine cover. Any ideas about getting it off??

Yes you are right, I have just called at Audi Specialist. Cover needs to be pulled from the front to remove. Thanks for all your help.
