Frequently Asked Questions
What is included in the kit?
Five manganese steel skid plates — engine, transfer case, two fuel tank plates, and rear differential — plus all mounting hardware and installation instructions.
Why two fuel tank plates?
The Touareg runs dual fuel tanks, so the kit includes a plate for each rather than leaving one exposed.
Manganese steel or aluminum — which kit should I choose?
Manganese steel work-hardens on impact and is the better choice for serious rock crawling and repeated heavy strikes. The aluminum kit is lighter and better suited to overlanding and moderate off-road use.
Do I need to drill or modify the vehicle?
No — every plate is direct bolt-on using factory underbody mounting points, with instructions included.
How long does the full kit take to install?
Most owners complete the full kit in a single afternoon with the vehicle on a lift or ramps.

Perfect fit, super happy. Exactly what my rig needed.
Short and sweet — just like a perfect fit should be! Really glad the skid plates are exactly what your rig needed. Go tackle those trails with confidence!
Fitment was good overall but had to figure out one bracket on my own since the diagram wasn't labeled well. Still happy with it.
The manganese steel is noticeably heavier duty than what I was expecting. Already scraped a few rocks and not a dent on it.
Looked for months for a full underbody solution for my 2004 Cayenne. This covered everything I needed and the quality is legit.
Fits my 2008 Touareg like it was made for it. Nice finish, solid welds, no complaints at all.
