Engine Cover Meltdown – A Nightmare for EA888 Gen.4 Owners

This factory’s original foam engine cover (06Q103925L) for the EA888 Gen.4 Evo is far from impressive. It’s flimsy, improperly secured and notorious for its meltdown issues and that’s why VAG recalled over 4000 Golf Rs, GTIs, and other models (recall code: 10H9).

It’s that bad that every car with an EA888.4 engine produced post-2022 leaves the factory without an engine cover!

The Problem with the Original Foam Engine Cover

The factory’s original foam engine cover was initially designed to aid in noise reduction. But it turns out, the ‘foam’ whilst it does dampen the noise, it also has several issues.:

  1. Flimsiness: The foam cover cannot handle the engine’s extreme conditions.
  2. Poor Securing: It needs to be secured better, leading to a high chance of it getting loose.
  3. Melting Issues: The cover tends to melt due to excessive heat exposure because the EA888 is usually under incredible load, it could potentially start a fire.

The Recall Fallout

The repercussions of the meltdown fault have been intense, resulting in VAG issuing a recall code: 10H9. This meant recalling over 4000 Golf Rs, GTIs, and several other vehicles fitted with the EA888.4 engine.
