Note. To protect the engine casing, as well as all units and assemblies located in the engine compartment, from damage by stones flying out from under the wheels, a plastic or steel shield can be installed on the vehicle upon request. However, it should be taken into account that this shield is not able to protect the engine casing from strong impacts with large road obstacles (large stones, stumps, curbs, etc.), since it itself can be damaged and will not be able to protect the engine casing from damage.
The engine mudguard is removed if it is damaged or to provide access to the units and assemblies from underneath the vehicle during repairs and maintenance. This section describes the removal and installation of only the engine mudguard, since the additional protection of the engine crankcase is secured individually in each case (depending on its design).
