Hey there  I just discovered, my Motor Heat Cover is completely loose. Wanted to tighten the screw, but my metric hex key does not fit. Will I need an inch key - or even imperial key? If yes, what size? And does the black paint on your cover also "break off"? I thought this was just some whatever black plastic material. But I seems to be lexan, with black paint? pete / comet

Presume you mean the urban cooling kit cover?
This is attached with 4 setscrews to the fan itself, as to the 2 setscrews which fasten it to the engine I have no idea! I have a full set of Torx, star drives etc and nothing fits properly although some do fit well enough to do and undo. Must be a weird American fitting I suppose! The standard cover looks like a hard fibreglass of some sort, really ugly with a finish that won't polish up at all. MMC simply spray them with black gloss so if yours is peeling off I would suggest simply respraying with a rattle can (?). Keep us informed!

Hi Pete
The engine is using inch keys. I bought a set of inch inbus keys to address this topic. The shroud itself is just fixed by the two big screws on top.
Best regards

simply spray them with black gloss so if yours is peeling exactly. its peeling/breaking off around the screw holes. the cover itself, without the glossy finish looks like lexan, the material that is also being used for (kitchen-) spatulas. thanks kurt. I ll get some of those tools then! btw, comet gets its first service tomorrow

I believe most of the engine related stuff is SAE and the rest of the car is a mixture of metric and SAE. Good exercise running back and forth for tools. When working on the car I have an old cookie tin I fill with tools.
