jen90csw Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 As the title suggests, on my 90csw there is an underbody tray thingy that needs to be removed in order to carry out maintenance such as oil and filter changes etc. Would it be a problem if i was to leave it off or does it actually do anything important rather that just collect crud? Many thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 you can leave it off, it's meant to help reduce in cab & drive by noise IIRC, doubt it's of any real value in the real world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many thanks in advance. On mine, there is a circular hatch which comes out quite easily to access the sump plug, and a cutaway to get at the oil filter. I have not yet got around to binning it. It probably helps a good deal with noise while motorway commuting. Regards Richard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew Chua Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 it's there because of some legislation in some countries. besides, if you have a nice posh driveway, you won't have to worry about oil drips. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really!!? Mine just collects it in the tray thingy and then dumps it when you aren't looking! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Until the tray is full, you notice a drip, you jack it up to investigate and empty the contents of the tray over the drive! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
