It would prevent air from circulating around the ECU and if you cooked the computer, I am sure Ford warranty would point the finger at the plastic bit covering your ECU

Have to agree, at $60 it's still a rip off for whats involved.However looks heaps better with it on IMO.

I also got the same crap form local Ford service dude about the temp/air flow thing, but when you consider the temps within the engine bay when running, enspecially in summer, if anything the cover would shield some of this.Fitting is simply a matter of scoring the 3 bolt tops so you can unscrew them with a blade screwdriver, then fitting the cover with the 3 new hex screws.Looks extremely neat, and is something Ford should look at for presentation, as Expensive Daewoo still tend to have a better thought out engine bay.
