Ive see adverts , for what look like , steel replacements for the under engine guard - any use i wonder ?

you are thinking of the much fabled 'shallow' sump...

Essentially the sump from another VAG car (Beetle or something IIRC) with an adaptor to use the 1.8t oil drain and a different pickup... personally I'd put the money towards a baffeled sump...

on different wavelength , What i am seeing is a metal / steel formed guard , that mounts , under the engine bay , dished shell , as big as a old bin lid

No idea... ask me one on sport...

Get a baffled sump... That looks pointless

That type of sump guard is for rally cars that are jacked up... it will sit lower than the sump (by design) it hit everything in the road...

If you are worried about being so low to hit the sump then get the baffled one

The 'original' skid plate is the Diesel Geeks Panzer Plate

Too low and weights 11+Kg; no good for a rally car


the shallow sump does shave about 50mm iirc of the bottom of the engine
does take it the sump of the chinning zone
egine raiser blocks can also be used (25mm lift)

fwiw vag factory built rally pq34 cars raised the engine; used a shallow dry sump; added extra subframe under the engine
