Engine cover, included or not? - Dodge Caliber SRT-4 Forums

steve4air@verizon.net · 06-22-2008, 01:03 PM

Good afternoon all,

I recently purchased a 2007 Caliber, with the 2.0 engine. I noticed in pictures that some have a nice cover over the engine, looks to be just a nice decorative piece. My engine does not have this cover. Is this standard in the US, to have it, and I am just missing mine, or did some Calibers come without them? Thanks for any feedback.

The engine covers were discontinued on the SE and SXT models
in February of '07 for supposed cost cutting.
They continue to come on the RT and CSRT4 models however
and can be purchased as a part thru Mopar.

I noticed you were interested in the engine covers if you check out my mpost youll find there is the possibility of pretty much any kind of trim you want. Check out my thread and let me know what you think.

The dealership I bought mine from said the covers caused the engine to overheat, then the cover would melt and cause fires. Has anyone heard that excuse before? My company driver is a 2008 and it has the cover.

Sounds like a good way to brush you out of their hair,
mines 2-1/2 yrs old has never overheated and still looks
like new plus have never seen a post regarding a fire.
