I did a canbelt on a hdi the other week..it was the first 306 in all the years ive been messing with them to have the full undertray fitted ! With original clips ! Cheers Darren  haha! I was surprised to find that it had one on when I bought it. With all the original clips still intact I was surprised

The question burning in my head would be whether it had never been removed before because nobody could be bothered to service it :p
My Cabriolet had one, but none of my other 306s have. I guess the Cab had an easier life and did far fewer miles which would have helped. PM going out to Scott... Disclaimer: The above is not to be taken to heart and is probably a joke, grow up you big girl.

Those of you that have undertrays....is it noticeable when driving with one compared to without? Less noise or anything? More MPG maybe?

Was told that they were only fitted to certain models/specs, depending on how sensitive the onboard electrics are to outside influence/water ingress. A new ones about £40 on flee bay, and given the fact the front wiring looms are known to suffer, it could be a reason why, if removed/missing. They Also lend a helping hand in protecting the power steering pipes, exposed under the sump, with those nasty looking steel to rubber rusty crimps. I was considering making one out of sheet Ally. What do you guys think?. :-)

It can take longer to take and refit the under tray than it does to do an oil change on a car. On some of the newer Peugeots they put captive bolts into plastic and they just rip out. So a lot of the time under trays are held up with more cable ties than bolts. Couldnt agree more, nuisance of a thing 90% of the time. I dont have one on my 306 never seen one on any either.

Still got mine on my estate
Had to rip the one off the hatchback as the captive nut in the rear of the subframe broke loose so the only way to get it of was to break it up.

Got one in the shed I got for free going to butcher it to fit over the strut brace

doesn't seem bad providing it actually turns up

Looks pretty cheap and flimsy to me!
 So matches Peugeot pretty well I guess...

None of mine have had an undertray, but if they did, I'd probably just take it off anyway!

Just serviced my hdi, 197k and still with undertray and original bolts :-D
Current stable
'09 Mercedes E320cdi wagon '99 306 gti6
I've bought some better plated versions of those spring clip nut things and some stainless bolts as the last oil change one of the nut clip things rusted solid and I had to cut the bolt off, even though I had cooper greased the buggers last time I had them off.
I'm also going to replace the ones on the front bumper tab where they meet the body. 
25-05-2014, 08:00 PM
I had one on my 126k hdi with all the clips right up until my father snapped it off in a piss fit whilst doing some work on my car, where it is now is anyone's guess ha ha
