Title: Under engine cover
Post by: Judderi on 13 May 2005, 17:28

Does anybody know if there is such a thing as an under car engine cover for the mk2? I hope you know what i mean. A plastic cover to stop any road dirt splashing up into the engine bay.

I am going to make one over summer, out of sheet metal i think.

Protect the sump and downpipe from low objects in the street once my car gets it slam sorted out.

Will give progress reports as and when it happens.

Nice one. I might see if i can make one out of the 1 that i tore of my dads passat when if rallied it across a field when i went paintballing. He didnt notice and i hid the cover behind the coal bin in the garage.

diesel golfs came with one - they are actually used as sound deadening on the diesels. i have one lying in my tralier at home. basically it covers all the underside of the engine bay apart from the sump itself. ill get you a pic of it at lunch

wouldnt be worth posting as its big, so would cost n arm & a leg to post!!

just go down a scrappy and rip one off a diesel golf! i only paid £10 for mine!

Read about this on another forum, the under off a diesel from the stealers is close to £200 :(

Gambit, got yourself a bargain :)

bit manky as i havent been bothered to clean it up!! they will also make your car run slightly warmer as it restricts the airflow from below when the car is moving!!

Thats exactly the sort of thing im after! Cheers gambit

Title: Re: Under engine cover
Post by: Gambit on 17 May 2005, 14:02

@gtijoe - id assume they'd be on diesel jetta also

Title: Re: Under engine cover
Post by: Gambit on 18 May 2005, 09:50

was having a think last night, and it occured to me that anybody with a true big bumper wont be able to use that under engine cover as you are missing the front lower panel that it attaches to! back to the drawing board!

Title: Re: Under engine cover
Post by: ...joe on 18 May 2005, 10:24

ahh good point, you could get one froma scrap yard while your at it i suppose but then if you've got fogs it wont fit anyway! also thinking back to the diesel jetta i've seen i don't remember seeing one as i looked in the engine bay. it must be visible from the top eh?

* edit, but it was a big bumper model so that might be why?!?!?!?!!?!?

Title: Re: Under engine cover
Post by: Judderi on 18 May 2005, 10:27

Doh. Im sure something could be bodged up though.

Title: Re: Under engine cover
Post by: ...joe on 18 May 2005, 10:31

where theres a will theres a way and all that! still think its gonna be a nightmare to find one though. i've only ever seen a few diesel golfs in scrappy's and never noticed this under tray?!
