Undercarriage splash shield missing - is it two covers?

[elky]

Does anyone still have their splash shields (under the engine) that wants to share a photo?

I am looking at hubauer.de and am confused about how many pieces I am missing. Basically, under my engine, I don't have any plastic covers.

Finally, would you say they are worth their value to have them?

The 3.0 doesn't have a shield under the engine, only the front one, part 2 in the diagram.

OK thanks a lot for answering my question because I was puzzled! Then probably the previous owner lost it somewhere because mine doesn't even have that. Do you think its worth the money to replace it?

I guess it was designed/fitted for a reason?

Probably but for 130euros I was curious about what the reason might be... my pocket needs some motivation

I’ll bet there are more running without the splash guard than with it. If you can locate one cheaply get one, other wise don’t bother.

No 2 is called an air scoop, it supposedly directs air flow into the radiator. Depending on the condition of yours, you may need parts 4 & 5 as well as the scoop attaches to these and the bumper.

These plastics get brittle over time so finding a secondhand set in good condition may be an issue.

Mine decided to part company with the car years ago and I haven't replaced it. It hasn't had any noticeable effect on cooling.

Indeed its called an airscoop, I haven't found any second-hand locally (except from eBay) but I can find new OEM air scoop for 120euros and that is why I am contemplating But from what you say I understand I have to take a closer look next time I lift the car and see what other plastics I am missing...

Assume you have either part 1 or part 2 but not both. Mine has part 2

Mine (1.9 M44) still has it. looks like its part 6...

Got any pics? (BTW Part 6 relates to a screw fixing )

lol I was trying to point at the big piece in the diagram! Sure let me see if there’s one

An update to the situation: for sure I have to order some screws also because two of them are missing But the previous owner has broken the air duct... Now the question that arises is that perhaps I also need numbers 4 & 5 from the diagram
