Be interested to hear your feedback. I would be interested if it reduces noise/drag by smoothing out the underside a bit.

 

[Loz]

I like the look of that but the cynic in me doesn't hold out hope the 6 fixings matching up but hopefully you'll get lucky.

Yep, the feedback seems to look ok. . . . . . .

and it looks like that`s all they are selling on there ebay shop (under trays for loads of different motors)

well see what happens when it arrives.


I think i need one, i done a service on a 2004 BMW 530d the other day and was amazed how clean the under-body, gearbox, engine bay area was behind the covers.

it can only only help the long life of the van, just need to keep an eye on it when the van goes into VW for a service that they remember to refit it.

I might be missing something here - what's wrong with the original?

 

[Insert Coin]

I think this was only about £70 and it looks much better, in my opinion -

Ours didnt come with one. =[

MY18 sportline panel van

 

[Pauly]

PVs don’t get them only kombis upwards

 

[BristolChris]

That’s crazy that a panel van doesn’t get one. I’d have hoped at £42k mine would have one, but hey ho, you can’t have it all.

 

[Mooncat]

Oh right, cost savings from VW on MY18 PVs then

 

[Pauly]

It’s not just MY18 it’s any PV from inception

 

[N58amx]

Bought this one a few months back
No dramas , and is in uk

Looks like the same one. Presume all fitted OK on a T6?

10 minute job ,
On me arse under motor not jacked up

Mine has one (MY16 PV). A little bit of thought went into it as it has a handy little clip at the back end which make fitting an absolute doddle (normally you need three hands!)

I bought this one



Holes matched up. Fitted fine. Ten minute job.
I didn’t need the plastic clips as i didn’t buy the sound deadening.
And considering it came from Poland it arrived pretty quickly.

 

[Salty Spuds]

Unless I'm missing summat, my MY16 PV has a factory fitted one, I didn't order it as an extra.
