#1: GTi 180 annoying engine cover vibration Author: gpvecchi, Location: ItalyPosted: Thu Feb 16, 2017 7:46 pm ---- Hallo everybody, did someone find a way to fix this problem?
It seems a popular issue...

#3: Re: GTi 180 annoying engine cover vibration Author: gpvecchi, Location: ItalyPosted: Wed Feb 22, 2017 7:36 pm ---- Nope, that's another issue (that I have); the 6 "arrows" that keep it in place became longer because of the heat and make the cover rattle.

I had a couple of those engine cover pegs rattle loose and jump out, falling down the back of the engine! I bought a replacement set on fleabay for about £15 a while back.

#6: Re: GTi 180 annoying engine cover vibration Author: gpvecchi, Location: ItalyPosted: Sun Feb 26, 2017 12:54 pm ---- Yes, that works, but I was looking for something that last longer; when I remove the cover, foam usually gets off...
