Hi,

Does anyone know what goes in that middle engine cover hole? I heard it's a plastic screw, but no one can give me a part number.
It's not a big deal, but it bugs me that the engine is missing "something" lol ...

Thank you all,
Mike
03 XJ8

PS. Not my engine bay, but a pic from the internet with the same item missing.

 

I think it's item #5 in the above diagram............or is it the 1/4-turn item #3? (Item #3 is also used to secure the interior overhead console)

I think forum member King Charles may know for sure.

Link to purchase for $1.65 or .50 depending on which one it is.

Nice link CK!
I didn’t even know they had those available. #6 is what gets cooked and then crumbles away. #5 of course needs to be replaced as well.
