Engine undertray pics and dimensions
« on: 23 March 2016, 14:51:16 »

Does anybody have an engine undertray (for a petrol PFL), but not istalled on car?
I would need several photos(form diferent angles), and, afterwards, some messurements.

I am trying to source an OEM one, but no luck so far (quite rare in my part of the world), so I'm planing to fabricate one from steel or aluminum sheet metal. So, if somebody would give me a help with photos/dimensions, I would really appreciate it.

Thanks!

Thank you for images and reply guys.
I have been strungling with this, TBH.

This plastic cover covers the space from the front cross member (in front) to just in front of the engine sump (in rear), right?
But does the rear low end of the undertray sit lower than the bottom end of the sump?

Diesel undertrays are definitely different to V6 ones.

Here are 2 pics of an undertray in position. As you can see, it smooths the airflow beneath the car, presumably to make it quieter and more efficient.

Helps the engine to warm up quicker too.

.. and, when your water pump pulley comes off, you don't have to go walking up the A35 in horizontal rain looking for it. :-X

Many thanks to danzigfan, as he gave me his old one.  :y He even put in an effort of sending it via train (saved time and money).  8)

hAfter Having it installed, and seeing photos that terry paget posted, I'm certain that oil sump was left exposed to aid oil cooling.
I had idea to make a steel plate that will run from the back of  plastic undertray to the rear cross member, but I'm having second thoughts now.

All the untertrays on this images are the same, and they fit perfectly to the V6 sump.

Just one more additional note -> I have drove car several times after installing the undertray, and I'm certain that the noise coming from the engine bay. The sound of belt drive, and PAS pump is much lower, almos unnoticable.
