[Vwdiesel] Skid Plate Sound deadening?

[Dave Cook]

I ordered a Panzer Plate and the metal side skirts last night; hoping they may come in time to install this weekend along with the timing belt kit.  


Anyway, I was curious for those of you who have installed one of the metal skid plates, did it make any difference in diesel rattle noise?  I currently have just the plastic side skirts, no lower pan at all.

I was wondering if spraying some kind of rubber undercoating on the inside of the skid plate would help absorb some of the rattle reflections.

Since I sold my 4Runner, I decided to beef up the Golf a little bit because it might see a little crazier terrain.  I'm also looking into raising it to create an Off Road Adventure Golf.
