rubber undertray, how important is it?
On my '86GXL the rubber undertray has come loose and is dragging on the ground. When I put an engine in it a couple of years ago I remember a lot of the bolts broke because they were rusted. How important is this, can I take it off without any cooling problems??

It actually keeps it MUCH cooler in the engine bay. I would fix it ASAP.
|
VITAL!!!! Absolutely neccasary
|
I've run mine with and without. The engine runs cooler with the tray on. 'nuf said.
The bolts are abailable at any parts store. Cory |
My car used to run at 195*F on the highway w/the A/C on. Now it's more like 185 in teh same situation.
I guess it does its job |
Thanks guys, I'll quit being lazy and go out and fix it.:cool:
|
yeah you need to fix it or replace it for sure. big difference in cooling
|
I've read that it also decreases the CD by .01.
|
Perhaps most important, it protects road debris from flying up and cutting your oil cooler lines. I have heard of this happening on more than one occasion.
|
My T2 came without one when I baught it 1 year ago and Ive seen no negative effects.
|
I've got 4 black zip ties holding mine on (ALL the bolts broke off inside the holes) on my white '90 TurboII.. that should tell you how important it is.
