After wheel alignment procedure @ dealer: Am I missing a cover?

Rekla · 03-05-2010, 02:52 PM

Just picked up my car after a 4 wheel alignment at the dealer.
I've never noticed that I could see through the engine bay onto the garage floor. I layed underneath the car and I was wondering if i am missing a cover panel? Can someone confirm?

Top down, area circled = garage floor.

I remember dropping a small flashlight into the engine bay and it fell through that hole and to the floor. I was happy that the hole exists. I think it's normal.

You have the cover under the engine on your car. The hole you are seeing is where the exhaust comes out of the engine bay.
