Re: Was there ever a undertray ?

...shouldn't be that hard to do realy, make a cardboard one first, then set to with a sheet of aluminium?

My (ex)rally car has a sump guard if that counts? Bit heavy though and makes oil changes etc a pain

Re: Was there ever a undertray ?
I'm fairly sure a front undertray was an original factory fit option
I have the German exploded parts book for the Scirocco and it shows an undertray there as an optional accessory
Book is not to hand at the moment but i will look it up when i get a chance after Christmas

If you mean a sump guard, then there was one available as an expensive optional extra.b5byt wrote:Just wondering if the rocco ever came with a engine department undertray ?

If you mean a cover over the top of the engine, then like Sean, I am not aware of one other than Heather's.

Re: Was there ever a undertray ?
Just my opinion but the Scirocco was designed not to have an undertray so I was thinking that by fitting one it may overheat the engine?

i'm thinking undertray Pete - similar to what a lot of moderns have these days - apparantley.
assume its meant to contribute to fuel economy at highway speed and/or to keep engine bay clean.

Brunty: I would be interested in seeing any pictures of the sump guard you may have please

Re: Was there ever a undertray ?
Thanks for the pics...
Rallying? Ooh no - far to mucky business for my liking
It's just my (ex-Jetfire) '82 16v is going to have to be used for my work, which involves driving down railway access tracks and lanes and such like, and the last Rocco is used sustained a bit of a battering underneath, though never as serious as puncturing sump though I think it might have been a bit close on occasion.
I assume that's at least 6mm ali? Have seen some Pug ones made out of 10mm!

Re: Was there ever a undertray ?
Yes, it will be about 6mm ally. It's a lot heavier than you'd think!

Re: Was there ever a undertray ?
Reason im after one is my new engine is a 20v turbo, and the engine has lots of chrome!
Keeping it clean wont be easy, but the undertray will help..
