1999 E55 AMG
E55 Engine Cover

Hi guys,

Could someone tell me send me a diagram showing how the front part of the engine cover attaches to the engine?

Mine was bust when I got it. I can see the clips that go onto the filter housing but what happens at the front under the AMG badge?

I'm going to have to buy a new one so just want to find out if i'll need anything else? by the way the dealer was helpless, they just said I have to buy the cover but I think i'm missing something. Any help appreciated!

Geo

On the bottom of the cover, there is/was a single front clip opposite the filter housing clips. It simply snaps into place onto a stud at the top front portion of the engine. There is no need for additional parts. In fact, there is no need for the cover. Purely aesthetic. Go figure.
