Post by: thenamesdaryl on July 09, 2012, 06:30:17 pm
after having work done to the car i went under the bonnet to find most of the clips holding the engine cover down had been broken. i have searched high and low and bar phoning a dealer i am stuck. its quite bizzare as i thought they would be easy to find. can anyone help? if it makes any difference its for a 2.0 tdi

Not sure if you mean the mounting points as per a Golf GTi.

They are removed with a deep socket 24mm. And can be a pain to get off. I broke two of mine!
