mr keef Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 Just wandering if anyone has done away with the engine undertray? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hadyn Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 Not worth removing, designed to maximise air flow etc under the car, not just to make changing the oil a pain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supRo Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 I've not got one. I don't think it makes a difference apart from less dirt covering the engine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeordieSteve Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 I have... well I say I did but a badger done most of the hard work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terribleturner Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 Mines removed and not had a problem or noticed any difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbeh Posted September 7, 2005 Share Posted September 7, 2005 You probably would notice at high speeds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terribleturner Posted September 7, 2005 Share Posted September 7, 2005 Nothing noticed at all at high speed to be honest. And i'm talking 140/150 leptons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr keef Posted September 7, 2005 Author Share Posted September 7, 2005 might keep the bay a bit cooler too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian R Posted September 7, 2005 Share Posted September 7, 2005 Quite a few people have either lost them or removed them and from what they have told me made no odds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnA Posted September 7, 2005 Share Posted September 7, 2005 I've ran mine without the tray for 2-3 months, now with the tray. Can't say there's much difference, and I watch temps like a hawk. Don't see how it affects oil changing, the drain is *after* the undertray Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MONKEYmark Posted September 7, 2005 Share Posted September 7, 2005 i have had mine off over a year,just engine gets dirty. going to clean and paint it to protect it more. what are undertrays like fitting with aftermarket bumpers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnA Posted September 7, 2005 Share Posted September 7, 2005 There is an obvious aerodynamic advantage from a streamlined undercarriage. Less dirt and salts too. But as far as improved cooling efficiency goes, the jury is still out there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure re bumpers but I think It's FMIC's that give problems? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
