Battery Cover

Part number and price would be helpful. I decided to not put mine back on after jumping my girlfriend's car, and well lets just say, it's broken...

isn't it bad for the ECU to be boosting other peoples' cars?

i think you got it mixed up. I think what he meant was he was jumping his gf's car due to her battery died. What is jumping battery will effect ECU??

I remember reading something in the manual about not jumping cars. I jumped somebodies car once and noticed significant power loss after, but it fixed itself

He means....that if u jump another audi.........it can damage the ECU

[mattman]

I dunno i just thought I herd you cannot jump or be jumped because of the way its grounded or something like that.

I just jumped someone last week, and I noticed my MPG went crazy high - the ECU said I was getting 30MPG in the city. The next day everything was back to normal. I might not jump anyone else. I kind of had to do this one though - it was the senior partner at my firm, and he was too cheap to call roadside assistance to the parking garage.

Yea Sam mine is broken too and my battery needs to be replaced tomorrow. Is it ok to run the car with out that whole cowl area. I've seen a couple cars without it but I don't know if it's ok I might take mine off tomorrow.

The 2005 models came without the battery cover from the factory. To me, it looks weird, but apparently is OK. The engine compartment has weather sealing, so it keeps pretty dry. Most other cars don't have covers over the battery.

yea so if u have an Audi....Do not jump other people or dont get jumped EVER...it can ruin ure whole ECU

[sambrody44]

Hey Sam. I just replaced my battery today and removed that whole plastic cowl over the battery and cabin filter and I think the master cylinder. I think it looks a lot better.

[sambrody44]

Hmm...

I might look into that... My cowling got cracked when I did my coil over install and forgot to put it back on then preceded to step on it...

I would like to remove the cowl, but my passenger wiper arm is apparently welded on. I can only remove the driver's side - to get to the ECU requires flexible shafts, steady hands, skinny wrists, and luck.
