Has anyone retrofitted "5WA-501-713" yet?

That's the MK8 version of the MK5/6 Short cover for the multilink rear axle/subframe on the hatch only.....(not for torsion beam & not for estate)
I've not mentioned it as I'm not 100% certain if the exhaust will clear it & we know the MK5/6 cover fits ok..
I'm going to order it to try on my mk7. The listed part number for the mk5/6 cover is not nearly as readily available for us in the states, not to mention its listed for 41 euros new (and more than that used shipped to us) as opposed to $16 for the mk8 part!
Does anyone have experience with this steel skid plate? It has access to drain the oil and also brackets to hold the front up.

@golfdave , I traded my GTE in for a SEAT Leon ST, I'll be applying your mods on it as well
Also, I noticed in some SEAT communities the inlet modification with the GTE-plate is being called "pikey r600" nowadays haha. Cool stuff.
When we are on the topic of rear axle cover. Does anybody knows what is the difference between 5WA501713 and 5WA501713B? First one has PR code 4P0 and latter one 4P3That's the MK8 version of the MK5/6 Short cover for the multilink rear axle/subframe on the hatch only.....(not for torsion beam & not for estate)

NopeThe MK8 one??
4P0 is rear floor panel module type 1
4P3 is rear floor panel module type 4
It could be multilink/torsion beam...or petrol fuel tank or compressed natural gas fuel tank.....I don't know..I've not seen the underside of that many MK8 Golfs...
Nope
Multilink/torsion beam are 0N1 or 0N4,type of powertrain is 0K0 etc.
Hate those ambiguous PR codes. And biggest problem is I haven't seen those codes before on any MK7
Yes, I know you know, and also I know translation of PR codes.I know what the PR codes are for the rear suspension....
I was wondering if "rear floor panel module type 1 or type 4" was for the the rear floor panel for either multi-link or torsion beam..not the suspension itself...but more likely fuel tank type...
MK7 Golf has the code 4P0 for this part:-
5Q0 803 501 AL side member

On MK8 etka there is also mention of 4P0 and 4P3 in the side member category but sadly there are no pictures. Does anybody has some different source?

Pikey R600 mod..hahaha!!....
As its the estate you will be able to do the bigger rear axle undertray..but don't do that mod yet!.....I'm looking out for the MK8 Golf estate to see what that has..& also the MK4 Octavia..but I can't get the underside info yet!
Fit the MK8 aero rear lower arm covers though as these are well worth it..& the Audi harmonic damper...& the front exhaust tunnel cover, etc., etc...
