I think the engine cover is mostly cosmetic, but don't take my word for it. Hard to imagine a dealership service tech forgetting to replace it, but I suppose it's possible. Also possible is that it was serviced somewhere else that does not report to Carfax, and they left it off. Or the prior own

You could add it to a partially filled tank. I've found that a relatively small amount of veggie oil makes a huge difference in the sound of a diesel engine. I haven't tried in my TDI but in a 240D a quart of veggie oil in a full (or nearly full) tank of diesel would substantially quiet the engi
