Under tray
« on: March 21, 2018, 12:41:09 pm »
Where would be the best place to get another intact under tray for my Mk5 GTi?

Mine is missing a bit on the left side (as looking from the front) and is not hanging down.

Cheers
Darren

Dealer, + 8 new screws. 

I got one a couple of years ago.  It was only 40 quid or something.

Some things from the dealer are pretty reasonable.   Second hand unter trays will likely be cracked or damaged in some way, otherwise they would still be fitted to cars.

Hmmmm, with a turbo I would keep the rear half of the engine bay exposed personally.

Mines got the R32 tray on, but I thought it was just to stop the crud getting thrown up underneath. Sorry, can't help with a part number for it though.

If you are in the Manchester region, I have an undamaged used one I can sell. I swapped it out for the R32 one...

I fitted a R32 undertray. My diesel has a turbo on the rear and a full undertray as well. I think the rear of the engine is open enough for the air to leave the engine bay. :confused:

Diesel turbos don't run anywhere near as hot as petrol turbos.

I like to leave the sump exposed to the airflow as it's a great heatsink.

Cant argue with that price, I bet a scrappy would probably want that for a second hand one
