Transit Custom 2022 - engine under shield

[Stunic]

My van did not have an under shield from new. Is it worth fitting one but they are a bit pricey, £272 for parts and £75 labour. Ford have told me that after 2020 some vans had these fitted as standard and others did not, all sounds a bit vague. I guess the biggest risk is a stone puncturing the oil filter.

Should I fit one? Thanks.

Unless you're expecting the oil filter to be hit by half a brick, then I'd not worry about stone damage. 🤔

The under tray helps keep the underside and the engine bay cleaner, and it allegedly improves mpg as there is less drag. If you feel able to spend £350 on having one fitted then do so, but you will have to save some serious mpg to get your money back.
