For Transporter owners who their Is using a vehicle commercially? a logical investment those two replaces separate plates with one continuous protection.

De advantages of a combination plate

This plate is specifically designed to both the engine compartment and the gearbox housing to finish in one sheet cover. That yields compared to two separate plates different benefits on:

• Continuous protection without uncovered intermediate zone between engine and gear box
• One product, one assembly - fewer assembly time and less mounting points
• Lower total price than two separate plates together
• Sleeker bottom finish - An plate often looks cleaner than two
• Practical for commercial use where simplicity, reliability and downtime limitation to be central

Volkswagen Transporter T6 and T6.1: the iconic commercial van

De Volkswagen Transporter T6 was in introduced in 2015 as the successor to the T5. In 2019, the T6 underwent a important technical update and was renamed to T6.1 — with under other revised electronic architecture, renovated interior, more advanced driver assistance systems and a modernized front. The T6.1 remained in production until 2021/2022, when he was succeeded by the T7 (on Ford-platform).

The T6 / T6.1 becomes characterized by:

• VW-own production in Hanover, Germany (unlike the T7) which is being built in Turkey)
• Proven platform with decades experience in commercial deployment
• Various powertrains among which 2.0 TDI diesel and 2.0 TSI petrol
• 4MOTION (AWD) option for heavier effort
• Variety of versions: Transporter (commercial van), Caravelle (passenger van), Multivan, California (camper)

Suitable for all engine versions

An important The advantage of this record is that it is suitable for all engine versions in the T6 / T6.1 range. This includes, among others:

• 2.0 TDI diesel engines in all power variants (84, 102, 110, 140, 150, 199, 204 hp)
• 2.0 TSI petrol engines (Where available)
• 2.0 BiTDI diesel engines (before Euro 6.2 emission standard)
• 4MOTION (AWD) performances

This is an important difference compared to some other base plates which strictly for one engine version or only for front-wheel drive (FWD) be suitable.

Why engine compartment and gearbox housing protect?

Create a combination plate covers two very expensive components at once off, both with serious consequences at damage:

Engine compartment:

• Damage to the oil pan - a a cracked oil pan leads directly to oil leak and engine standstill
• Damage to the engine block itself recovery can increase to many thousands euros
• Damaged drive belt or water pump – dropout en route, engine damage due to overheating

Gearbox housing:

• Damage to the gearbox expensive replacement
• Oil leak from the transmission immediate failure; transmission oil is essential for lubrication
• Damage to transmission sensors can engine management problems cause

Common consequences of damage to these zones:

• MOT failure in the event of an oil leak or visible damage
• Downtime costs for commercial use (critical for couriers, taxis, transport and healthcare transport)
• Loss of income before and after, self-employed people who their Transporter deploy daily
• Impossibility to transport passengers (Caravelle, Multivan, California)

Vehicle-specific for the Transporter T6 / T6.1

This base plate is specifically designed for de T6 (2015-2019) en T6.1 (2019-2021/2022) — built on gain Volkswagen-own platform in Hanover, Germany. The chassis mounting points and engine bay + gearbox geometry are between T6 and T6.1 virtually remained identical, resulting in one plate covers both models.

Not suitable for:

• T5 (2003-2015) – different model year with deviating geometry (a separate plate is possibly available in our range)
• T7 (2022+) - complete other platform (Ford-platform); for that, there is a separate record in our range available
• Volkswagen Caddy other platform (MQB for 5th generation, Touran basis for earlier generations)

Why a steel base plate?

For commercial deployed company vans and passenger cars steel offers the most robust form of protection:

• Maximum impact resistance - file against hard blows from stones and obstacles along the way
• Long lifespan – resistant to years of intensive urban and commercial deployment
• Deforms upon extreme impact instead of breaking – protects engine and gearbox effective
• Cheaper alternative and aluminum at comparable protection
• Easy to repair – with small dents are repairs relatively simple

Customization designed

The plate is shaped to the engine compartment and gearbox housing of the Transporter T6 / To follow T6.1 exactly, retaining the Ground clearance. This ensures a tight connection on the chassis structure without space requirements around other components such as engine sensors, wiring harnesses or seals.
