undertray bolts
My undertray of me new car fell off today. I need bolts but the are different to the ones I have. Can't seem to find them on ebay.
Anyone able to help with a source. Dont want to go to dealer. They'll cost 7-8 quid each there probably.

Re: undertray bolts
could you not get a bolt same length and diameter(well a size up) and get large flat washers instead?

Re: undertray bolts
I re fitted mine after it fell off using a couple of strips of half inch wide soft strip with holes punched in it. Shaped and fixed those above the lower edge of the wheel arch assembly where the original tray fittings have come from.
Used round headed bolts with square nuts similar to those used for rainwater guttering to fix the punched strip to the plastic wheel arch assembly but clear of the engine tray holes.
Align the holes on the punched strip with the four in the engine tray.
Obtained Xantia type engine tray fittings which take a 10mm bolt in a captive nut, similar types are also used for fitting Xantia fog lights in the bumper and probably many more applications. They were not expensive from the local Citroen dealer. Fitted them onto the punched strip aligning them to holes drilled through the plastic using the engine tray as a template, two each side.
The use of these fittings clamp onto your punched strip as you tighten them up but as you remove the tray they are loose enough to allow some movement as you line up and refit the engine tray. Keep the threads greased and they will not suffer the failure associated with original fast fit fittings.
Used a similar arrangement for fitting the front of the tray under the radiator assembly.
Hope that helps
Andy.

Re: undertray bolts
I dont have a fancy driveway so not bothered about oil drips, so when I found out the drip tray marginally makes the car more aerodynamic I decided I would prefer easier access when dropping the oil out and changing filter etc.
What I remember though is the tray firms up everything around it and without the tray I had to cable tie a few bits of plastic to flexible pipes which was not ideal but 3 years later there's no problem and I can do oil changes easily. So leaving the tray off has worked for me.
Thinking about it just remembered when the tray was on a garage owner after raising the car on a hoist huffed and puffed because they'd have to remove the tray to inspect for a leaking steering rack! He dropped the car down and sent me on my way

Re: undertray bolts
You might also find if you were in a slight accident and your insurance company (or someone else's) had a look, you might be paying for your own repairs to any front end damage. As you correctly say, the under tray ties in and stiffens various panels, and protects engine components. Just a thought.

Re: undertray bolts
Hard to see from the photo, but if these bolts are the same as those fitted to the undertray on an 'X7' C5 they are cheap as chips from a dealer. I bought a bag of ten for under 5 Euros.boristhespie wrote:My undertray of me new car fell off today. I need bolts but the are different to the ones I have. Can't seem to find them on ebay.

Re: undertray bolts
On my 2004 C5 2.0 HDI there are three like those in your link across the front and one at the back and at each side on the edge of the under wing trims there are two captive nuts with short 6mm screwsVertVega wrote:Are yu looking for these?

Re: undertray bolts
Got some. Transpires there is now no engine undertray. Snapped the remaining bits along the body of the car in with these "pushfit" bolts. They're retty good and simple.
Now £109 for tray. Maybe 15-20 for all the bolts and probably £80(1hr), for fitting. Wonder if I could get away with getting it done as part of an oil change.
All I know is there is a rythmic banging now coming from the engine. Just hope it is the result of my fitting these back cos if it isn't (there was no banging prior) I may have lost a few grand.
See, panic by name. Panic by nature.
Think I'll leave it tonight. Expecting 110mph wind tonight.
