Engine Shield Cover Bolts

Post by dark_stranger » Sun Jul 23, 2017 2:25 pm

Guys, a seem to have lost a few of the hex bolts securing the engine shield and want to replace them all with new, but struggling to find the part numbers on OEM.  Can anyone help.  I found this pic on the web, so hope its correct.

Does this slide help...this is a 2004 3.0D as I don't know what engine you have  :-[

Looks like it's called an air duct rather than engine cover  ;)

The only other slide doesn't seem to have all of the fittings - and is called sound insulation....

Cheers guys, apart from ebay, any recommendations on where to source as ebay sellers are selling each bolt for a few quid each!!!

Have you asked a Dealer?  Sometimes they might (pleasantly) surprise you.

At the end of the day it's an M6x20 screw which can be picked up at any accessory shop, like wise the screw. I agree with X5Sport the dealer will probably surprise you.
