I didn't even know there was a 'radiator undertray' , I thought that was the spare wheel tray ?

its a bit of board that fits on the bottem of the rad and held buy 2 self tappers . but i don know what its for

[JamesT25]

i thought it was to channel the air or something like that but in reality it holds water against the bottom of the rad and rots it, mines got a new radiator because of this and therfore has not been refitted with rust catcher!!

[johnnyvespa]

thats wy i took mine of it was rusty .so i put some rust killer on and that was a long time ago
.and it seams to be ok . but it must be on there for a reson . as you say it might be an air scoop
to keep it cool ??

helps direct the air through the rad. just like the ones up the sides

dosent seem to make a difference weather they are fitted or not.

vw obviously thought so , they seemed to have problems with the diesels and overheating.

thanks for that .i will leve mine of as it keeps the rad wet and makes it rusty .
