By the diagram yes, but type the part # into Google and you will probably see different results. From when I checked, a few of the ones that actually have pictures--often in other languages--seem like what the car actually has now.

It's hard to figure out. Don't know if the European models have the cover or not.

Might check with the local dealer and see what they come up with.

Bug's the heck out of me what could hit that plastic oil pan and do damage. Chances are slim hitting something, but.

My 2019 has a cover.

Might be asking to much but, the next time you drop the shield, if you do, could you check for a sticker with a part #?
Also, how many attachment points are there?
Wondering again if this is a regional thing, depending on where this vehicle was shipped to.

Thanks

Thanks for your effort. I'm going to crawl back underneath and get a couple more photos and compare them to yours.

Print the picture and take it to your dealer. Look under a Q3 at the dealer. If the cover is there, tell your dealer to fix the car by installing the missing cover,

no problem, and it did appear to me that the wheel well shield (just in front of driver's side well) could be a separate piece, but was unable to verify..

From what I am seeing, it looks like there is no shield directly covering the oil pan and transmission on your either. That is the area I'm concerned about.
I'll check again this morning to make sure the front shields are the same as yours.

Thanks

Well I put the car on ramps to get a better look and it looks like everything is the same as yours.

I've attached another pic of the exposed area of the oil pan and trans area. Plus there is a wiring loop hanging in the breeze off the oil pan sensor.

It is what it is I guess. Couldn't find a oil drain plug. Am I missing something there?

Thanks.
