02Z301134A Volkswagen DRIP TRAY

This little tray basically catches any oil that leaks past the seals on your gearbox. It’s not supposed to leak, of course, but seals do wear out over time, and even a tiny bit of oil can cause problems. It's designed to collect that stray oil before it hits anything important – like your exhaust, or even the road. It sits underneath the gearbox, usually attached directly to the bottom. Think of it as a safety net. It’s a relatively small part, but it’s positioned right where drips are most likely to happen. It doesn’t actually do anything mechanically for how the gearbox works, it just manages the oil. It's important because gearbox oil is, well, vital for keeping everything running smoothly. If it leaks onto the clutch disc, you’ll notice if your clutch starts slipping. Oil on the exhaust can create smoke and potentially a fire hazard, though that’s rare. Mostly, it’s about protecting other components and preventing a messy, and potentially expensive, situation. If you see oil pooling underneath your car, especially after it’s been sitting, that drip tray has probably done its job. You can find replacements pretty easily; Fixparts Online usually has a good selection. Replacing a worn or corroded tray is cheap insurance, honestly, compared to dealing with gearbox or clutch problems down the line. More than just a part: Drip Tray (MPN 02Z301134A) includes a 12-month warranty!
