    The APR 2.5T EA855.2 Engine Covers are Here!



    Product Pages

    The 2.5T EA855.2 Engine has a beautiful engine cover, but only if you opted for the carbon fiber upgrade package. For everyone else, you’re left with a somewhat underwhelming plastic cover. Even if you have the upgraded carbon fiber cover, it’s time for a refresher. Enter the APR Carbon Fiber Engine Covers!

    We’ve added a new carbon fiber design that’s drop dead gorgeous. Available in Gloss Carbon Fiber Twill, and Exotic Gloss Forged Carbon Fiber, the new covers are sure to turn heads. They match the overall shape and theme of the factory cover, but ooze aesthetic appeal thanks to the carbon fiber materials, red and black accents, and of course, the world renowned APR logo plate. The engine cover looks right at home in an otherwise stock engine bay, but shines when paired with an APR intake system. Simply plug and play, no tools necessary! Of course, it doesn’t affect emissions, and some on the internet have even suggested it may add horsepower, at least more than stickers do, but we have not verified this claim. Get yours today and GOAPR!

    Features and Benefits:

    • Significantly enhances the appearance of the engine bay
    • Gorgeous gloss carbon fiber twill with red and black accents (MS100234)
    • Exotic gloss forged carbon fiber with red and black accents (MS100235)
    • Features the world renowned APR logo that’s sure to turn heads and delight
    • Reduces weight by 32% over stock (Plastic version)

    • Plug and play upgrade with no tools necessary

    Arin -

    Just a quick review of this ad's voracity:

    Significantly enhances the appearance of the engine bay - Check
    • Gorgeous gloss carbon fiber twill with red and black accents (MS100234) - Check
    • Exotic gloss forged carbon fiber with red and black accents (MS100235) - $75 more than carbon fiber look for camo look?
    • Features the world renowned APR logo that’s sure to turn heads and delight - Check
    • Reduces weight by 32% over stock (Plastic version) - Stock weight 2.36lb. so a savings of about 12 ounces
    • Enhances vehicle performance with weight reduction - Theoretically but measurable?
    • Reduces weight over the front axles - Theoretically but measurable?
    • Optimizes weight distribution - Theoretically but measurable?
    • Plug and play upgrade with no tools necessary - Check
    • Replaces the factory engine cover - Check
    • Likely adds more horsepower than stickers (unverified) - You have a dyno - check it out.
    • Emissions compliant - How would a trim piece not be?

    Nice looking piece that should sell on it's looks but too much marketing performance hype in the ad IMHO.

    That was the point... It's an engine cover. Gotta have a little humor, especially when it's remotely true.

    All marketing is hype. Check out the knives that cut through stone and lead pipe LOL

    I guess he could have just said "Here's a new part, $549 please."

    I was smiling after the weight savings, full out started laughing at the horsepower comment. Made my day.

    For me a more effective sales approach than humor would be to contrast the part to the Audi part on cost (less than 1/2) unless the RS logo is a big thing.

    I picked up a brand new OEM Carbon cover and matching manifold carbon cover set for 780. Shopping around helps a ton. Plenty of stock flowing around these.

    Oh do tell us where you manage to get this? Was it a private sale? That’s an amazing price. I would actually be interested in this APR cover if it weren’t for the APR logo. I’m done adding more logos to my engine bay.

    Private sale I found via a buddy on Instagram for that set. He bought them from LDC-OEM on there and re-sold a bit cheaper to me.

    Love it, lol. You all should consider making it so that the RS badge could come over though so folks have an option. Appreciate you all making this as an alternative to the oem piece.
