Protect your rear differential when the track turns rocky
Give the rear differential beneath your Touareg or Cayenne a substantial alloy barrier with this Almont 8 mm HeavyDuty guard. It covers the stated vehicle generations and uses a bolted installation.
SKU: PDWTDIF8
HeavyDuty protection with a bolted installation
The plate weighs 10 kg and uses certified AW5083 H111 duralumin. It protects a different area from the fuel tank or front guard, giving you a useful way to extend the protection beneath a vehicle you enjoy taking off road.
Why we recommend Almont
Certified AW5083 H111 duralumin gives you substantial, high-strength alloy protection without the material weight of steel of the same size and thickness. The plate will not develop red rust if its surface is scratched, so it is a good choice for a vehicle you intend to keep and use. Wash off mud and road salt to look after the alloy and the separate steel mounting hardware.
Almont has specialised in vehicle protection since 1992, with input from vehicle preparers involved in the Dakar Rally and other rally-raid events. Its protection is designed and manufactured in Spain. You are choosing specialist underbody protection for the parts of your vehicle that have to face the rough ground first.

Designed for the original chassis, axle, suspension-stay, transmission and stabiliser mounting arrangements. Raised suspension is compatible when those original supports are retained. Body lifts, differential-drop kits and altered mounting supports are incompatible.
Matching protection
For the matching Touareg or Cayenne application with its original chassis, add the separate fuel tank guard to protect the original tank as well.
Looking after your protection
Pressure wash the protection at least once a year, or two or three times a year if you regularly drive in mud or road salt. Check bolt tightness annually and follow the fitting instructions when refitting a plate after maintenance.
