Neocorrado 0 Posted July 24, 2004 i don't know what to do i need a splash guard under my motor now, i have a CAI and now i can't drive in the rain so someone please HELP me and tell me where i can get one or what to do :( Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Henny 0 Posted July 24, 2004 it may be worth you trying to find a Golf Diesel in a scrap yard... They had them fitted as standard, and seeing as the Corrado subframes are almost identical, it won't take a lot to fit one.... 8) Dunno if this will protect the bit you need to though...

MikeVR6 0 Posted July 25, 2004 How much are they? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Henny 0 Posted July 25, 2004 Roger Blassberg, Golf MKII Diesels were fitted with an under engine guard which prevented large amounts of road crud getting onto the engine... just helps with keeping things nice and dry and clean.... 8) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
corradovr6sc 0 Posted July 25, 2004 about £25 from vw. You can also get a k@n pre-charger (I think that's what it's called), a bag to cover the filter, which protects the filter from dust. Here's a pic of the pre-charger and splash guard: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Roger Blassberg 0 Posted July 25, 2004 thanks for the explanation, Henny. What's a CAI ?(see original post). Best wishes RB Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Henny 0 Posted July 25, 2004 oops, sorry! :oops: It's a type of induction air filter which you tend to stick through the carbon cannister hole so that it can't draw hot air in from the engine... 8) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Andy Brookes 0 Posted July 25, 2004 Cold Air Induction, the filter is relocated to the inner arch as per the pic above. See my pic for a view from above. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kvwloon 0 Posted July 25, 2004 So, how much of the underside of the engine bay does the cover, erm, cover? And will they also fit early cars / 16v's? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
corradovr6sc 0 Posted July 25, 2004 In that photo the plastic guard which covers the crank and pas pulley is missing for some reason, but when it is in place it touches the splash guard and in effect boxes in the air filter i.e. the plastic inner wheel arch, plastic pulley cover and splash guard forms a protective box. The splash guard is about 30 cm square and is fixed to the front spoiler and the plastic inner wheel arch with self tapping screws so it only covers the area infront of the wheel up to the front spoiler and engine block. Suppose it would fit on early cars. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Neocorrado 0 Posted July 26, 2004 Good looking out with that part # Corradovr6sc, i'll see if i can get a ASAP cause it's a pain driving without it i always have to make sure it"s not raining and that can be a pain so i guess now i'm saved.
