Undertray Clip Question
« on: 10 December 2010, 12:27 »

The other day my undertray was hanging down and i have 4 missing torx screws :sad:

Also the plastic the undertray bolts to has the white plastic clip missing, does anyone know part numbers for the plastic clip and torx screws

Thanks

Halfords may sell them, the clips are called spire clips then use some 6 or 8mm self tapping screws

Thanks Steve, i needed those as well, but the clip i meant is next to the undertray the undertray actually bolts to it, and far up in the wing there is a thread which a clip pushes onto to hold that bit of plastic up.

Not much of a description but will have to try and get a pic :smiley:

I know what you mean, round disc with a star shape centre cut out :laugh: not sure what they are called. pretty sure when mine broke I managed to screw a nut on it with a large washer. it done the job till a speed bump smashed it some more and I ended up buying a new section :lipsrsealed:

That's the one, at the mo i have removed the undertray and have put blu tak where this clip is meant to go :laugh:

Will put a nut on and hopefully wont come off.

Thanks mate

I just used some big ass screws which have done the job since just before summer, the undertray is a pain in the crack and expensive item to replace also.

Mine was hanging down and scraping at 70mph  :grin:

Popped into Vw dealership and bought the proper screws and clips for 20p - 90p each  :wink:

They also have exploded diagrams they can get the correct parts from.
