Volkswagen Transporter T5 Engine Gearbox Underbody Skid Plate from Direct4x4. These premium quality laser-cut underbody skid plates protect your vehicle from rocks, logs and long-term damage. Made from heavy-duty deep stamped aluminium alloy. Lightweight and affordable.

Please note that these skid plates will only fit short wheelbase models of the Volkswagen Transporter T5. 

  • Designed to minimise damage during off-road driving; perfect for farmers and off-road enthusiasts driving in harsh conditions or during the winter months.
  • Made from hardcore 6mm thick laser-cut lightweight stamped aluminium alloy coated with corrosion resistant polymer powder paint.
  • Stiffening reinforcement ribs provide extra strength to the underside of your vehicle.
  • Easy to fit, bolting directly into existing mounting points on your vehicle's chassis. No drilling or serious vehicle modification should be required.
  • Virtually zero reduction in ground clearance.
  • Includes drainage apertures for water, mud and dirt ensuring that they don't pool or cause corrosion.
  • Vent and airflow apertures help to reduce any aerodynamic drag.

 Fitting and Maintenance

  • Bolts into pre-existing mounting points on the chassis, any existing under trays will need to be removed first. Mounting points are concealed once fitted to reduce damage.
  • Please double-check the bolts every six months to ensure they do not come loose.
  • In the event of a serious underside impact, check carefully for any damage to the skid plate or possible interference with vehicle components.

Important Information

  • Ensure you have received all necessary components; if there's anything missing let us know right away.
  • Avoid using TFR (Traffic Film Remover) products as this may cause corrosion and invalidate the warranty.
  • Do not use expedition products in severe weather conditions.
  • Pack all expedition gear away securely before driving vehicle.
  • Expedition items should be dry before closing but if packed wet, open again at earliest convenience to dry fully.
