I've just successfully replaced my PCV valve however I noticed that the underside of my engine cover is broken. As it contains the air filter will a hole in this location cause a problem? If yes any ideas how much a replacement engine cover costs?

Thanks in advance.

I very much doubt that will make any difference. Replacement covers are very expensive, at which point its probably worth while getting an aftermarket CAI.

.
The air goes through the filter box on its way onwards, so I would say that any hole in the filter box is neither good for performance nor for stopping unwanted debris.

I advise that you duck-tape it immediately until you decide what other option to choose.

It will only affect performance if it is after the MAF.

Duck Tape FTW!

I don't think that crack is even in the air intake tract, so it should have no effect on performance.
