For some time I searched for a solution to protect the power steering fan on my 06 GP.
I learned that certain 05-08 R52,R53 automatics were fitted with such a factory upgrade.
I looked in junk yards for the upgrade kit but found only broken or missing parts. Recently I found a source for used kits.
51-75-7-201-453 air channel
51-75-7-201-784 perforated underbody panel.
After receiving and cleaning the parts, I installed the kit. I did have to purchase two C-clip nuts (07-14-6-981-767) for the power steering fan housing. I found no problems installing the kit on my 06 GP. One possible issue might be the power steering housing. In my case, openings were present for the C-clip nuts.
For others that might have an interest in this upgrade, reach out for another bundle buy from my source or any additional information.
