I can only speak for pre-facelift TDi as that's what I have. Whilst my Caddy didn't come with one I have fitted one from a MK5 Golf TDi. From my research they are exactly the same for most 2004-2010 VAG group TDi's.

Part number is 1K0825237

That's about right. The caddy does not come with a full under tray but normally they have a half tray that just fills in the area between the sump and under the front bumper.
Not totally sure but if u fit the full cover from the golf u might might need different under wing guards

My caddy life comes as standard with a full undertray, looks the same as a touran but different from a mk5 golf as I have a golf/jetta and compared them, although it doesn't mean they won't fit from A3/mk5 platform

Here is a picture of my Caddy fitted with the full Golf Mk5 TDi cover. I didn't require anything different as far as the under wing guards go. It was a straight fit.

One thing I think does differ is the two openings which I assume are for some sort of air cooling used in the golf.

Part number for the half size tray is 1K0825235

When I was looking to get one I noticed they are all pretty much the same shape but the insulation in the engine side is different depending on what it's fitted too.

They usually have a part number with one or two letters on the end for the revision/variation number. I have see these as AE/AF/AG/P etc. I'm assuming they layout of the insulation is different with each.

The slots are for cooling of the gearbox I only fitted the half cover as it makes oil changes a lot easier lol.
Did any one notice any less noise inside the cabin after fitting the full cover ????

I had to remove mine a for a few days a couple of weeks ago. I was surprised how much difference it actually makes.

I have a facelift 2012 caddy. I got mine off a 2008 touran. Was surprised at the difference it makes at town driving for sure. Paid £25 delivered on eBay iirc
