What purpose does the injector cover plate have on a P38 Diesel? Mine hasn't got one and I just wondered if I needed to get hold of one?

If you mean the plastic engine cover. It makes the engine look nice.

Davlyn · Apr 25, 2012

No, its a metal plate.

Never seen a metal plate covering injectors what year is it?

Davlyn · Apr 25, 2012

Its a metal plate that as far as i can see runs from the back of the engine to the front between the cylinder head and the inlet manifold.

It has no function other than to trim the top of the engine and it should be plastic. Unless there was a metal one on the earlier engine with the alloy inlet manifold. What is the manifold made of?

If it's pre EGR I have a spare one, not sure what it's made of, long time since I took it off.
