Hello- I've had my van since 2012- a T4 2001 1.9 TD- and she's just passed her 11th MOT in my keeping. MOT guy suggested that I fit an engine tray- which she's never had- so I've bought one and I'm wondering if anybody has any tips on fitting it.

Ahh be ya and a warm welcome to the forum from the shire.Is it a Vdub steel one or an aftermarket plastic one? We have a vdub steel one on Mols bus and a plastic one on my 1.8 20 valve. Its just a case of jacking the van up safely then bolting it on. Theres four bolts, two on the left chassis leg and two on the right then two at the rear which have nuts and rubber cotton reels.There should also be a spring clip on the front cross member and two slotted holes on the sub frame for prongs on the rear of the Vdub belly pan to locate into. The plastic ones are easier to fit being lighter and can be removed on the roadside in a emergency without jacking the van up, dont ask how i know.
