Protect your Amarok before the rougher miles begin
Your Amarok's gearbox and transfer case deserve protection as much as the engine does. This Almont guard puts 8 mm certified duralumin beneath the transmission on the listed 2023-onwards 2.0 TDI and 3.0 V6 TDI applications, giving you more reassurance on rocky tracks and rough working ground.
SKU: PDWAB8
One centre guard for both listed engines
Both listed engines use this transmission guard reference. The 12 kg HeavyDuty plate extends protection beneath the centre of the truck and mounts with the matching front guard. If you are adding plates in stages, the front guard is the required starting point.
Why we recommend Almont
The material is a large part of what makes Almont protection worth considering. Certified AW5083 H111 duralumin combines high strength with less material weight than steel of the same size and thickness. A scrape will not start red rust in the alloy plate, helping it stay a worthwhile long-term addition to your vehicle. Mud and road salt should still be washed off, including from the separate steel brackets and fixings.
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.
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.
Frequently asked questions
Does it fit both listed engines?
Yes. The 2023-onwards 2.0 TDI and 3.0 V6 TDI applications share PDWAB8.
Do I need the front guard too?
Yes. It is required because the two plates have linked mounting.
What is included?
The protection plate, matching steel mounting supports, pre-installed fixings, certificate and instruction manual, and Almont sticker. Other guards linked on this page are separate purchases.
Will the plate rust if I scrape it?
The duralumin plate will not form red rust when scratched. Wash off mud and road salt to help prevent other corrosion and to look after the separate steel brackets and fixings.
What does the warranty cover?
Almont provides three years of cover against cracking of the plate. Dents, deformation and damage to the vehicle are excluded.
