Can you have a look at your undertray?
The undertray of my 2008 1.8tsi manual is only half-length & has a couple of NACA ducts on the passenger side - I assume to cool the gearbox.
It looks approximately like this (this is leading edge pointing upwards):

I'd never given this much thought but was looking at later model petrol vRS and noticed the undertray went right back to the crossmember.
I figured this would be a good thing for aerodynamics & also noise so when I came across a cheap undertray from a golf diesel I fitted it (it appears Golf, Passat, Audi A3, A4, Jetta, Scout, Yetti, Tiguan & Octavia all share the same undertray dimensions).
The one I fitted looks like this with no NACA ducts (leading edge pointing downwards):

Can someone have a look under their vehicle & if it has the full length undertray tell me if it has the ducts and is it manual or DSG?
I suspect the ducting is particularly for DSG equipped vehicles but if it's common for the manuals as well I'll do some cutting & glueing & incorporate my half-tray ducts into the full tray.
