Engine under tray

[phil911]

Dear all

I recently had my 2003 Leon 20vt Cupra serviced. Went to check the oil a few weeks later and noticed that it looked like the engine under tray (black plastic) was not re fitted/ or does not cover the underneath of the engine completely. When i questioned the garage they said that only the diesel versions have a full under tray that covers the underneath of the engine and that the petrol ones only have a partial tray. Is this correct ?

Thanks in advance Phil

OK did a search on the forum and it seems that the garage might be right. Sort ones for the petrol and full cover for the diesels. Not convinced though. Anyone know for sure ?

my cupra R has the full cover, its huge!

Same here

LCRs and deisels have the full covers, normal LCs don't AFAIK

Thanks Danny. Think your right, just found parts diagram and it shows a short one and a full one. Just did not want to go steaming in to the garage accusing them of not fitting it afterchanging the oil !!!!

laziness I reckon.. he couldn't be arsed to put it back on!

Well it was cracked and wouldn't go over the cooler pipe when I done FMIC so I chucked it

Much easier to do oil changes now

you will do when you take the sump off

It's also useful when working in the engine bay and dropping screws...

Yea, mine has been off for ages. BDM baffled sump should be in the post tomoro with 6mm alloy amour plate on the bottom of it.. shouldn't need to worry about protection then!

 

[wayne lcr]

Mine has one of these under it, makes hell of a noise over speed humps

You might as well have attached an iron gate to the bottom of it Lee

 

[LEE69]

lol was on it when i got it and from the noises it as certainly saved the sump.

My diesel has a black life raft attached to the sump. I'm not sure if that came in with the sat nav?
