I had my car in for an oil change today, and the service advisor showed me a splash plate that goes under the car, to keep crap from splashing up into the engine bay. Anyway, mine was cracked and had a big chunk missing. He figured it was from hitting snow in very cold weather. The first week I had my car, I did hit a chunk of ice, and a couple days after had them check the underside to make sure there was no damage. They didn't find any then. So now I'm wondering if they could have tightened it down to much when replacing the front impact sensor while dealing with my airbag problem, which might have caused the initial crack. No way to prove this of course, but out of curiousity, does anyone know where the sensor is located, and if that splash guard has to be removed to get at it? They had it off for the oil change (the service guy brought it into the waiting room).
It's a $117 part to replace, which isn't a real big deal, but I haven't driven in any deep snow, or heard anything hit the bottom of my car since that first incident.
