Plastic Under Fabia Floor Exterior

sattaff · 09-10-2008, 18:41

Hi
Noticed on my sons 53 plate Vrs there is plastic panels going from front to rear of car , on my 06 vrs there is no panels..
So basicly wondering what advantage/disadvantage there is with the plastic panels..? ie better sound proofing or harder to get at a nut and bolt etc.
Any info appreciated..

I dont haver them on mine either

bobjim · 10-10-2008, 12:30

i do on my 04 vRS

digitaldwarf · 10-10-2008, 12:30

i think they stopped fitting the under tray at the faclift
mine dosent have and its a 54 plare but ive seen an 04 plate with it

ultra_joel88 · 10-10-2008, 12:35

Do the mean the bit at the front?

digitaldwarf · 10-10-2008, 14:58

no its under the passanger compartment

sifelicia · 10-10-2008, 15:25

I too have this fitted to my 03 model and also wondered why it was fitted

Originally i thought it was for directing air to the fuel cooler but realised its on both sides

Can we state more clearly what panels were talking about as i am lost??

digitaldwarf · 10-10-2008, 17:03

im not talking about the plastic tray under the engine
but on older / prefacelift catrs there is a plastic tray thing under the drivers and passengers seats
sorry i cant describe it any better as i dont have one

Hi

The plastic panels/sheets run from the front of the footwells both sides to the rear of the footwells , basiclly plastic covering the whole of the underside of the floor..
Not really sure if its one piece or two now will check in a little while..

They cover fuel/brakepipes and up to the fuel cooler, just an extra layer of protection, soundproofing and Skoda removed it on facelift along with the battery cover etc as a wee corner cutting exercise.

I would as these covers protect a bit and trap mud+dirt+water - so they should IMHO get removed every three years or so so that you can clean out what has been able to get trapped in there - these sort of now rusting retaining "nuts" are a bit of a pain to get off - I'd buy quite a few first as some will end up not being re-usable.
