0AW301378E Volkswagen PLAS BASIN

This part is basically a panel, usually plastic or sometimes metal, that sits underneath the gearbox. It doesn’t actually do anything mechanically with the gears themselves. Instead, its main job is to deflect road spray, water, dirt, and debris away from the gearbox and other sensitive components nearby – things like wiring, sensors, and even the exhaust system. It’s pretty simple, really. Think of it as a protective layer for the underside of your vehicle. It mounts up underneath, covering a significant portion of the gearbox’s lower half. It's designed to take the brunt of anything kicked up by your tires, keeping those vital parts clean and dry. It isn't a structural part though; it’s not holding anything together. It might seem like a small thing, but it’s really important for preventing corrosion and damage. Constant exposure to water and salt, especially in the winter, can eat away at metal parts. The splash shield acts like a shield, protecting those vulnerable areas. You’ll notice if yours is missing or damaged because you might start seeing more rust forming around the gearbox, or you could get issues with electrical connections failing due to moisture. It’s one of those things that, when it’s good, you don’t think about it. But when it’s gone, you’ll definitely know. We carry a good selection of these at Fixparts Online, and getting a new one is usually a pretty straightforward fix. Peace of mind guaranteed: Splash Shield (MPN 0AW301378E) has a 12-month warranty!
