An engine and transmission guard may prove useful, depending on the conditions in which the vehicle is to be driven. An engine and
transmission guard can reduce the risk of damage to the vehicle's underbody and engine oil sump, for example when driving over kerbs,
driveways or unsurfaced roads. If you wish to have one fitted, Volkswagen recommends contacting your Volkswagen dealership.
