Performance characteristics and benefits

The engine cover for diesel-powered units operates in a demanding thermal and acoustic environment. Using an original cover allows you to:

• reduce the noise characteristic of diesel engines,
• limit dirt accumulation on accessory components, which facilitates the diagnosis of potential leaks,
• maintain a consistent, factory appearance of the engine bay, which is important for vehicle resale,
