Does anyone here have a 2009 Caddy Sportline.

I'm 99% sure it used to have a cover over the engine to keep noise down and look pretty.

Unfortunately I took our local dealer up on a CAM belt and Water pump service offer.... circa £500.
Not only did they break/stretched two cables going to sensors on the exhaust they also lost / stole the top cover.
Cost me the same again to repair elsewhere.

In any event I've either imagined that it had a cover or its gone.

Please can someone confirm with a picture of their gleaming engine bay?

Many thanks

I'm reasonably confident no Caddy has ever come from factory with a cover, they are all retrofitted by the owners. Thats not to say yours didn't have one but its going to be tricky to prove unless you've got photographic evidence (which I assume you haven't as guessing you would have checked those already!).

This is why I cannot trust my memory, we've had quite a few VW's including R32 (still have) and GTi, so I may be confused.
I really need a sportline owner to confirm.

Post up a picture of your engine. If you had a factory fitted cover then there will be the ball mounts down on the front right hand side when you’re looking from the front.

You might find 2 of the 4 ball head bolts installed even from factory but still no factory engine cover - I don't believe any Caddy in the UK had one, might be different in europe but can't find any reference to covers on the parts database.

I’m looking at a sportline tomorrow morning and will be looking at the engine bay for sure. I’ll let you know if it has a cover. I can’t remember whether my old one had one. I think it did as I thought something was missing when I opened the bonnet on what replaced my sportline, which was a 2014 2.0TDi 140bhp, so basically the same van just not called a sportline.
