The photos above are correct, 996 Turbos do not have a undertray covering the engine (or down the left and right handside of the center of the car - which changed on 997's)

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

14 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Does the engine have an under tray to protect it. I thought it was a fully covered floor pan but mine is exposed so to speak. Thanks for any assistance.

POST 2Original post

My 2003 C2 is the same ; the rearmost cover panel is either missing or never fitted?

POST 3Original post

Only covered up to the middle of the gearbox as faw as I'm aware.

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks is there a cover out of the factory I wonder ?

POST 5Original post

The pic from Alex (although not a turbo) shows where the covers come up to from the factory on a Turbo, see pic of mine

POST 6Original post

I’ve not dropped to take a look at mine, but I’d have thought it would hinder cooling and airflow if it was all covered. If I take a look later, I’ll revert.

POST 7Original post

The photos above are correct, 996 Turbos do not have a undertray covering the engine (or down the left and right handside of the center of the car - which changed on 997's)

POST 8 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Great thanks no need to look for one

POST 10Original post

A lot of engine cooling is provided by simple air flow under the car. That's why higher horsepower modified 986 or 987 cars have a problem with overheating. The engine is other way round and hard up against solid metal bulk head so gets a lot less air flow from under the car.

POST 11Original post

My C4S has on of these fitted. Air duct It attaches to the rear cross brace (not the ones fitted at an angle) and has scoops that direct airflow from under the car to the engine.

POST 12Original post

Well thats strange, on the pic from Alex the covers extend a couple of inches further (to the cross brace) than on my car, I think this is the part in Kersidans post?

POST 13Original post

Right I think I've worked it out, on my Turbo the most rearward panel has two Naca type ducts which direct air to the gearbox, on Alex's pic those ducts are missing from that panel but it has the extra short panel which also has a scoop. I think this is because it is a C4S.see below pic of a C4S

Yep that photo shows the undertray/panel. I wish my car was that clean underneath.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
