3C0407720C Volkswagen SHIELD PLT

This part’s job is pretty straightforward – it’s a protective plate, usually metal, that goes underneath certain parts of your vehicle. It defends against impacts from things like rocks, debris, or even minor accidents. Think of it a bit like a shield for sensitive components. It doesn’t really do anything mechanically, it just protects what’s above it. It typically mounts under the vehicle’s body, often near the engine, transmission, or fuel tank. You’ll find them used a lot in off – road vehicles, or those that frequently drive on unpaved roads where there’s a higher chance of undercarriage damage. It's also used on some standard passenger cars as an extra layer of protection, especially for the fuel lines. It’s generally part of the underbody protection system, working alongside other plates and guards. Honestly, a damaged fuel tank or transmission line can be a really big headache. This plate can prevent a lot of that. If you hit something on the road, this is the part designed to take the initial impact. You’ll notice if one's missing or damaged, probably when you hear rattling sounds or during an inspection. It’s often overlooked until something goes wrong. If you're looking for a replacement, we have a good selection at Fixparts Online, but any auto parts store should carry them. They aren't a critical component to running the car, but they can save you a lot of money and trouble down the road. Suitable for every driver: Shield Plate (MPN 3C0407720C) includes a 12-month warranty!
