Just give it a good pull, or ease it off around the edge. It has some rubber sockets over some steel bullnose pins. Haven't looked for the turbo so don't know that one.

Turbo is at the back iirc, you can see about half of it. Just follow the exhaust manifold and you cant miss it!

And yeah just give it a good tug.

does the plastic go back on?

[Djw John]

Yeah. They remove it to access the engine during a service and then re-fit it. Why you taking it off anyway?

I heard there has been an increase in making love to cars. Considering he's after seeing the beating heart, I think the plastic cover is kindda Metaphor for the bra.

lmao, i think i can see the turbo, i seen my mates turbo last night in his ford fiesta 1.4 diesel, lil baba turbo right at the front of the engine very easy to see! Also, when in fourth gear below 2k revs when i put my boot down i seem to get this weird noise from the engine up until about 2200 revs, like a strange sound that i cant seem to explain, erm. like a kind of high pitched pinging, i have no idea what it is and ive had it b4 my car went in for service last week and they said the engine was fine but i didnt tell em bout the noise. Anyone else experienced this? i havent had a drop in power but it never used to happen
