1.8T Am I missing an undertray?
 

Hi folks

whilst doing my cat yesterday I noticed there appears to be a clip ready to receive a bolt/fixing etc but nothing in it. Any ideas what screws into it? Just wondering whether I am an undertray short or something?

I dont have the bottom bit on that pic but someone on other forum says you dont get it on the turbo - can anyone confirm?

btw is that one large piece or 2 seperate pieces?

One large piece - and as I understand it some of the engine variants are slightly different.

Yup, my 1.8T only has the front part of that huge undertray.

As above, they vary with engine type.

yours is missing the full undertray only the 1.8 non turbo had the smaller one

Not so. The 1.8 NA models lost the undertray in Project Drive (2002). The turbo models are all fitted with the shorter version.

sorry if i'm wrong but if it had the shorter undertray those clips would not be there as the short tray doesn't go that far

The body shells may receive all the clips before any engines are fitted.

Here's the 1.8Turbo info: http://www.rimmerbros.co.uk/Item--i-GRID001767

Later 1.8NA models with no original undertray may well have the clips to fit one. Rimmer indicates that post-Project Drive 1.8s (2003-on) should use the standard full length tray.
