Well, I thought I had... perhaps I missed a post or two? Any assistance is appreciated.

Wow, so much information here. I'm glad I had a snow-day here in Virginia to try and digest it! In sniffing around on ebay, I just saw this device for $112US: 1pcs For VW Golf 7 MK7 Engine Splash Guards Shield Mud Flaps Fenders 2014-2018 https://www.ebay.com/itm/1pcs-For-V...eld-Mud-Flaps-Fenders-2014-2018/173219780406?
Anyone tried it or have thoughts?
Its not a VW item & those are cheap & flexible…
So basically not a skid tray..more an aero/splash tray..& the OEM "noise insulation" full engine bay length splash tray from the diesel cars is better...
Still a brilliant thread and am thinking about retrofitting everything...but my only concern is that the heat generated from my hybrid turbo doubling engine output+higher flowing downpipe will possibly cause too much heat and may get into the cabin when I fit the exhaust covers.
Shouldn't too much....only when you full length cover the exhaust tunnel by making a full length cover as one member did....the items in this thread are all made for the Golf...& leave air flow to exit ...etc..
FWIW, the Wrotec may be the worst choice possible for an aftermarket oil pan. Might want to rethink that one.Is anyone using these skid trays with an aftermarket oil pan?
I am about to order the Wortec Aluminum pan which sits 1.8-2cm (.75 inch) lower than oem pans.
Will I have any issues with fitting the skid tray over this pan?

Can we get some more info on why they are the worst? There was nonegivenFWIW, the Wrotec may be the worst choice possible for an aftermarket oil pan. Might want to rethink that one.
Did these change with the 7.5 or does the guide and P/N still apply? Would love to add more road/salt protection to my GTI.
