undertray

[markyr2k1]

Looking from above the engine I can see straight through to the ground below. Should my berlingo have an undertray or is this normal? It looks as if there are fixing points around where a tray would fit... Most of my other vehicles have trays.

Cheers,

What year & model? I think some earlier models didn't have them.

I had an 07 1.6hdi 75 6ooX van - it had one.
I wouldnt worry-and it will make maintenance /repair a tiny bit quicker without it.
You often see them flapping up and down with the driver either oblivious or a puzzled look on their face

Is there a tangible benefit to the undertray ?
I suppose there must be as the manufacturers wouldn't fit them, anyone know the real reason ?
If it is for pass by noise for environmental reasons then I wouldn't fit one but if it has some sort of streamlining and fuel efficiency benefit then it may be worth having one.

It is an assistance in passing noise regs. As for further design uses, in this case I don't know, but I did once read an article showing how on the 405 it aided cooling quite considerably.
