A long time in the making, Diesel Geek set out to create the finest protective skid plate for your MK7, MK7.5, and MK8 VW. They envisioned a product that integrated cleanly with the factory components, offered full coverage for the engine compartment, and was robust enough to live up to its Panzer namesake. They succeeded and we couldn't be more pleased with the result!
The Panzer Plate protects your fragile oil pan and subframe from the many perils of everyday driving such as exploded truck tires, dead animals, ice chunks, mountainous speed bumps, parking curbs and raised manhole covers.
The Details:
-The Panzer Plate features a sturdy .190 inch solid aluminum bottom plate and 10 gauge (.134 inch) stainless steel mounting brackets
-Easy removal and installation for vehicle service
-Unmatched fit and integration with your factory fender liners and front valance
-No reduction in ground clearance or approach angle
-The complete Panzer Plate kit with hardware and mounts only weighs 21 pounds
-The mounting system does not interfere whatsoever with normal service procedures
-No drilling or permanent modification to the vehicle. A true bolt on!
-Panzer Plates are computer designed and manufactured to ensure a great fit and good looks!
-Removable knock-out for supplemental transmission cooling
-Compatible with Frostheater
-Made in USA!
Oil changes:
2.0 TDI diesel and 1.4 TSI gas - the oil filter is accessed from below so removal of the plate is required. This is only a 5 minute affair entailing only two more fasteners compared to the stock belly pan. The plate itself only weighs 17lbs.
