Bottom Part of Audi A4 Ripped From Bump
| Was coming dorsum from class today and heard a scraping dissonance, got back to my part and the shield is just hanging there. Should I only remove it for the ride home and purchase another one? Can I go out information technology off or will that allow all sorts of junk to make it at that place nether the engine? This is for a 2006 Infiniti M35. |
| Not a large deal to drive effectually without information technology in the short term. Even in the long term, information technology's not 'OMG, your car'due south going to die!' necessary, just information technology does help go along water and mud off the engine, sometimes gives a few low-mounted components some protection, and reduces road noise and drag a bit. |
| I simply ripped mine off. Heard scraping, saw information technology was half broken off, and was going to be doing some superhighway driving. Didn't want information technology falling off on the highway. Next time I'm at the dealer, I'll ask about it. But if its so critical that it keeps stuff off the engine, then they should either adhere something solid that wont break off on a parking lot bump or relearn how to build cars. |

Yes, you should remove it. |
| Your mpg may refuse slightly without it, as having a smoothen undercarriage reduces the drag coefficient. You might investigate aftermarket options. I know for my Jetta I could get a reinforced aluminum skid plate for the price of the plastic one at the dealer, and that 1 would do a much better chore of protecting the oil pan from rocks and debris. If my plastic one e'er gets damaged I'thou definitely doing that, but it's in great shape for now (and is also clearly not original to the motorcar). |
| Thank your $deit(y/ies) yous aren't in Germany or they will make you buy and install a new one in order to pass basic vehicle inspection. And those things aren't cheap. Information technology cost me $100 to buy a new one for a 17 twelvemonth old typical beater car. |

Simply if its then disquisitional that information technology keeps stuff off the engine, then they should either attach something solid that wont suspension off on a parking lot crash-land or relearn how to build cars. Information technology's a sacrificial component. It'south supposed to break off when something happens to it, rather than impairment the bumper cover past hanging on for love life. |
| Thank you guys. I took it off this morning before I left for piece of work and now I'1000 expressionless! DEAD! And probably raped too, I can't tell because I'yard dead! |

You lot tin't rape zombies - they're ever willing Remember that something that can rip your cover plate could conceivably dent (or puncture) your oilpan. If you insist on scraping that region of your car then yous should supersede/upgrade this plate. |

| Moderation Really guys? We're having a giant give-and-take nigh how women aren't welcome in the forums due to causal sexism *right now*, and in a page nosotros're into rape jokes and brazilian wax comments? Clean it the fuck upward. At present. |
| /me goes off to read thread -mhac³ |
| Bitpoet, I don't see why the above Brazilian wax allusion could peradventure exist offensive to women, and don't want to post in a forum where they are considered off-limits. That said, I concord the rape joke could probably have been left out given the nature of the ongoing give-and-take. |

A smooth undercarriage is a nice thing for guys likewise. Just ask a swimmer.| Paladin wrote: :( A shine undercarriage is a nice thing for guys too. Just ask a swimmer. I shave my ass. It has no God damn point being then hairy. |
| As an aside, my machine undercarraige cover one time came loose due to a sloppy technician who performed the oil change. Call back back to whatsoever very recent maintenance you lot may have had done on the car that might have precipitated this. In my case, the dealer replaced the cover for gratuitous. |
| Some cars can be upgraded with skidplates that are more serious than those tissue-paper belly pans near cars come with. |

My car is 42 years old. One of these days I want to drive to the dealer for a warranty repair. Although, practiced luck finding a Plymouth dealer. |

Death is very upsetting and actually affects some people. Especially the deceased. Please be more considerate when choosing how to express yourself, because it's so serious!!!1 |
| The final affair you want to do is piss off the undead contingent. They tend to pursue their calendar in a very relentless way. |
| Quote: You might investigate aftermarket options. I know for my Jetta I could get a reinforced aluminum skid plate For an Infiniti M35? HAHAH yeah no, definitely no such thing. Honestly I would simply exit information technology off and not worry about it, it'southward not similar an M35/M45 is so low information technology's going to puncture the oil pan on paved roads. At present if Pocky Is God is into off-roading on his spare time, I might worry... |

Mmm yeah, I after my second croaky oil pan I had to go for a panzer plate. ... I of the times was going over some railroad tracks at high speed in the eye of Seattle, fwiw. |
| The existent thing to continue fingers crossed for - hope yous didn't shear the head off ane (or more) of the screws that agree the pan on. My car has simply e'er been serviced at the dealer or by myself - they did all the oil changes while it was under B2B warranty. I got nether it a few months later owning it to swap out the motor mounts... and I discover that the rear of the belly plastic is held on by (IIRC) one of three possible screws. the other two are missing their heads and the shaft is stuck in the aluminum subframe. Now, possible they could've been sheared by something like an ice strike... seems similar a stretch though, and I've never actually had an ice strike (especially not simply a few months into owning it). I didn't brand whatever waves about it because it would've been difficult to prove. Some twenty-four hour period I will get bored plenty to extract the stumps somehow and exist able to properly secure it... merely for at present I don't really care. |
