S40 Engine Undertray

proost · Apr 13th, 2012, 16:21

Should my S40 (56 plate) have an engine undertray? It doesn't have one, which surprises me, and I get a sound like tyres on a concrete road whenever I am driving over 40-50mph, which I think is air rushing through the engine bay. Does anyone else have this problem?

I thought all S40/V50 had an undertray, not 100% though.

Mine got damaged so I removed it. I get a slight whistle from (I think) the turbo occasionally but apart from that I haven't noticed its loss. Makes it a lot quicker to do an oil change of course.

Hmmm, maybe the noise isn't coming from there then. It's like a low rumble, but definitely sounds air related, and is getting on my nerves!

I'm sure the undertray would certainly help with those noises. Shouldn't be too hard to get from a scrappy or dismantlers. They are pretty expensive from Volvo Dealer though.

Diesels have an undertray but petrols don't .. I dont think it will make any difference to your road/tyre noise though .

Market specific... The petrols in Germany all have one...

My 2.4i V50 has one although previous garages working on it have managed to lose most of the fixings...

My T5 has one too, although I cannot be sure it hasn't been fitted post purchase by the original owner. All I know is that mine came with it on.
