What is this off?

Postby robjmccarthy » Fri Jul 02, 2021 2:09 pm

Hi,

(2014 Ford Transit Custom)

I was hoping someone would know what the below is off, and whether it can wait until my service to be reattached or whether it is something that needs to be on urgently.

I had a rattling in my engine, and I noticed the below part was loose:

I found is wedged behind (at the back) of the air filter cover on the top of the engine. I'll put some screenshots below with arrows to where I found it rattling:

Thank you in advance for any advice.
Cheers,
Rob

It is a heat shield,
On top of the engine,underneath air filter box,over injectors etc is a rubber insulator/cover to keep the noise down,that heat shield goes on the back edge of that,as it’s close to the turbo.

Just to update this for people in the future - this was as per what FROG mentioned above. Easy to get back in place and clip in.

Cheers all for your help
