    Default Engine Cover...

    well today i was fixing my fuel lines (had a leak at the fuel rail) and i put the engine cover back on and i was tightening the bolts, and while i was tightening (i think i might of over tightened it)one of the bolts coming off the plenium chamber broke eg snapped in half? now can i just put a new bolt in or do i have to get a new plenium chamber cover?
    and if i do need a new plenium chamber cover how much would it be?

    Im pretty sure if the bolt has come off the plenum chamber cover you'll need a new one!

    Mot neccesarily. Temps with or without the engine cover dont really differ a whole lot. Atleast with the gen3
