0A3311484 Volkswagen OILPAN

This part basically holds the gearbox oil – that’s the fluid that keeps all the gears inside your transmission moving smoothly. It's not just a container, though. It also helps cool the oil down a bit, and often has a place for the oil to drain when you need to change it. Some pans also include baffles inside; those help keep the oil where it needs to be while you’re driving, preventing it from sloshing around too much and starving the gears. It’s located on the very bottom of the transmission, so it’s one of the lowest points under your car. It’s a pretty fundamental part of the drivetrain – basically, it’s where the gearbox keeps its lifeblood. Without it, you’d have oil everywhere and a transmission that would quickly fail. It acts like a shield protecting the gears from being directly exposed to road debris too. It’s really important because the gearbox oil is vital for the health of your transmission. If the oil pan cracks or gets damaged, you'll notice if you’re losing oil – you’ll probably see a puddle underneath your vehicle, and your transmission could start slipping or making strange noises. Running with low oil, or contaminated oil due to a damaged pan, will quickly cause wear and tear on the internal parts. A damaged pan can lead to a very expensive transmission rebuild or replacement. If you’re looking to replace one, we carry a good range of them at Fixparts Online, and I can help you find the right one for your car if you give me your make and model. Buy risk-free: Oil Pan (MPN 0A3311484) is covered by a 12-month warranty!
