I just noticed the 'chrome' Nissan emblem on the plastic engine cover has bubbled/peeled a bit.

Anyone else notice this ?

 

Nope...Take it to nissan and maybe the will replace it?

 

yes I have some on my cover ,they say it from engine oil or battery acid or from the heat

 

If it's from the heat, an oil leak, or a leaking battery, shouldn't it be covered under warranty?

 

Mine is still good at 28K. Next time you take it in, tell them about it and see if they replace it.

yup i noticed it on mine too...there has never been a drop of oil or a remote posiblity of corrosion from the battery on it...my guess is the chrome is peeling becuase if the cover getting hot

 

take it off and leave it off.

 

Mine has too, but im out of warranty ! ..I am so into hating Nissan lately....its making me crazy

 

Maybe you could give it to someone else local, next time they go in for service

 

Yeah, I've got that too but its not on my car anyways. I think oil/battery acid explanation is pure BS. I would push them to get you a new cover fo sho.

 

I am going in for HID data dot tomorrow or next week ,I will try to get a new altima black cover, I think they will say get the f%*k out of here! My peeled on the silver paint and not on the chrome nissan.

 

just take it off......

 

I took it off before,when I accidentely spilled oil though the hole without a funnal. so I had take the cover off to clean it up. and I didn't like the look of it. Guesswhat I found what under there? alot of peanut shells or some kind of beans shell and I think rat or nouse dudu. I think it chill in there because it was warm in the winter. I glad it didn't chew up anything

 

dont take it off!!!
if you do, ill buy it. i think it makes the engine bay look really clean.

 

Unfortunately, the '02/'03 engine cover does not fit the '00/'01 engines. If you want a cover, you'd have to get the '01 20th Anniversary SE AE engine cover which looks different and is smaller.

Peace.

 

dam it i knew that. ill make it fit!!!!!
