Undertray Removal

Post by Tim_GTi »

To save me some faff next Friday. Can anyone give me a quick low down of getting the undertray off? Does it need anything special or just a good yank?

there are four clips on the side and if urs still has them in at the back of the tray it should have a clip either side but they do tend to have fallen off

U also have two bolts either end attaching it to the chassis legs if i remember correct, or maybe one each side, might be a 10m or 13m bolt! I think!

Coolant drain and oil change.

Then next time it'll be pollen filter, fuel filter and brake bleed.

Gotta get mine off and refix it tomorrow as towards the back of the car it is hanging down horrifically..

Now I'm pretty sure I'm losing many of these said clips, anybody done any custom fixing to keep it in place?

Cheers, Ed!

Yeh I wore a hole in mine, just used metal brackets. The type you'd get from B&Q.
