#1: Lower engine cover/ belly pan Author: Johnbyron, Location: ScunthorpePosted: Sat Dec 15, 2012 4:18 am ---- Now then everyone, I haven't been on in a while,
I apologise if this has popped up on a thread some time ago but if it has I sure couldn't find it.
Anyway I was wondering is a belly pan / lower engine guard available for the 206 ?? Were they fitted to a 206 from factory??

That's a pricey bit of kit then,
Are they Peugeot prices ??

Taken straight from servicebox.

#9: Re: Lower engine cover/ belly pan Author: Steve206, Location: UKPosted: Sat Dec 15, 2012 1:13 pm ---- Fitted as standard to HDi's.
#10: Re: Lower engine cover/ belly pan Author: Johnbyron, Location: ScunthorpePosted: Sat Dec 15, 2012 1:49 pm ---- Would a cover off a hdi fit a gti 180 ??

#12: Re: Lower engine cover/ belly pan Author: bezford, Location: darlingtonPosted: Sat Dec 15, 2012 3:01 pm ---- If youve got a ramp and the inclination it would be a great diy project...if i get the money and time i might do my own out of ally sheet with a nice three rows of vents angled towards the rear...damned council should provide them with the size and number of speed bumps round here.

This did cross my mind but then surely the rad keeps the water / engine pretty cool and air is taken from the front grill and over the rad via the upper front grill so still a fair bit of cooling there but the air intake is a little more tricky as you know, I think I'll take a good look tomorrow and see if I can draw something up that won't have too much effect on the cooling or air intake.

I'd have thought it was more to do with where the air comes out than goes in. As you say the air goes through the front, but can't be much good keeping that air in the engine compartment as it will just keep heating up and have no where to escape.
Might be worth having a word with Mac and asking him how having one on affects the rally car temperature.
#15: Re: Lower engine cover/ belly pan Author: bezford, Location: darlingtonPosted: Sat Dec 15, 2012 4:30 pm ---- Air intake will be fine as long as there's some perferations in the plate where the intake is located...i thought he meant the downforce factor when he said air flow...wether he meant it or not the downforce would improve with a skid plate fitted infact thete mighy even be a slightly noticable improvement with the drag reduced like this...
#16: Re: Lower engine cover/ belly pan Author: bezford, Location: darlingtonPosted: Sat Dec 15, 2012 4:49 pm ---- Come on macca all those stars and you post a quote like this???????there is still a lot of obvious air flow to circulate around the engine compartment but there obviously water cooled anyway....i think that even if it was possible to seal the entire engine bay,except the front intakes,that with the movement driving causes. circulation would still be good enough just entering and exiting airflow through the ftont vents...
But in truth it would be no where near sealed tight by fitting a skid plate because firstly the skid plate would have to have air vents incorporated into its design and secondly there would still be plenty of gaps around the steering and susspension arms letting plenty of airflow move around...and lastly there is still plenty of airflow happening above the plate whete the exhaust makes its way back to the rear giving plenty of exiting air even if the other flow channels managed to be blocked off...

I don't think i will ever run this car as hard as a rally car but if I ever did I could remove it, I'm think more of a winter thing. Admittedly there's a lot to think about when fitting an engine guard but no one will no for sure if it will effect their engine temperature whilst driven how they drive until they go ahead and fit one to find out
