Check out the first video below.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMany Audi TT engines have been destroyed by road debris putting a hole or a crack in the aluminum oil pan and the subsequent loss of oil and oil pressure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlus, these cars are very low to the ground and the stock front springs on these cars are relatively soft which causes the cars to bottom out frequently.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDamage often occurs when bottoming out. Installing our hefty .190\" inch thick aluminum skid plate will help you avoid costly repairs and give you peace of mind that your engine is protected!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e  One additional benefit of the Panzer plate is that it acts as a rear subframe stiffener. The Panzer Plate also ties the rear subframe to the front intercooler tube cross brace which stiffens the whole front of the car. This triangulation will add crispness to the steering and make the chassis feel more solid, especially on TT Roadsters!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e  All hardware is included in the kit with no drilling required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstalls in as little as one hour! This Audi TT Skid Plate Kit fits all 1.8T Coupe and Roadsters with manual transmissions only.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis kit will not fit a TT with a Tiptronic automatic transmission or the TT with a 3.2 VR6.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Also, the TT Panzer plate no longer includes the 1J0 825 250 AC splash guard described in the install manual.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou may purchase this panel from your local VW dealer and cut to fit. It is not necessary for the mounting of the skid plate and only serves to keep water and dirt out of the side of the engine bay.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e  Made in USA!\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/kn9JFBlNE-g?si=OisbWu_qtrs2qHud\" title=\"YouTube video player\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/vG-zWQtToCU?si=W6fUTkQeSXpo937Q\" title=\"YouTube video player\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dieselgeek","offers":[{"title":"2000-2001","offer_id":53334080127270,"sku":"DG-PANZER-TT-1","price":399.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"2002-2006","offer_id":53334080160038,"sku":"DG-PANZER-TT-2","price":399.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0704\/2131\/5878\/files\/PP-ATT-2_x700_x700_37445327-bf55-4e3a-94c1-c3b9fbc346c1.webp?v=1781209909","url":"https:\/\/store.ngpracing.com\/products\/dieselgeek-audi-tt-panzer-plate-for-all-4-cylinder-180-and-225-hp-audi-tt-for-years-2000-2006","provider":"New German Performance","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
