While driving in chicago yesterday my shield came loose and then when under the car. Safe to say its a wrap on that one. I have been looking for a new one online cause dealer says 400 for a new one (no sir). Can't find it anywhere. Has anyone every replaced one for a 02 430? If so can you point me to a nice link.

thanks

i need to replace mine too, because the ******* at the Valvoline oil change place forgot to screw it back up when they were finished with my last oil change. and by the time i noticed it, the screw hole was scraped away. there is no way that i will pay 400 dollars for a new one either. Too bad i've never seen a 2GS at a junk yard.

 

Mine popped of on the way to Vegas after I hit a tire gator from a semi..and it's been off ever since...

 

Mine's hanging very low, it's only about an inch off the ground, all bolts are there I think..... at least it sagging like it's made out of paper...

 

I thought he was looking for the splash shield that goes under the engine?

 

he is....i guess i meant after he gets one he could build a skid plate so it wont tear off again or we happened to it!

 

The previous owner, or his service shop, took a razor blade to mine so that they could service the oil and filter without removing it . I am curious if the big hole down there adds to wind noise while driving. Probobly costing me .23598 HP Dang now I need a replacement too.

Lexus OEM Engine Under Cover $118.02

someone owes me a beer lol

 

Wow, it's actually pretty cheap for a odd part like that.

 

yeah i know, i was kinda suprised but sewell does impress AND keep in mind that price was WITHOUT our clublexus discount

 

Ohhh boy, Im probably going to get hit with a few comments as to why an old thread has been brought to life...

But I was wondering what is the main purpose of the 'under engine cover' ?

Is it a must have / item to be replaced if damaged ?

For turbo'd cars isnt it better NOT to have the cover in order to let more air in the
engine bay ?


thanks

 

400bucks LOL. which one did you go to??

so i take it's completely torn off? if you still have it, just use zip ties

 

It actually aids engine cooling by preventing "high pressure" under car air from coming into the engine bay and somewhat restricting flow through the radiator. It also helps to keep water out of the engine bay. It is a functional and not just cosmetic piece.

 

where can we find just the screws for it?
