Your 4Motion system helps you reach places worth staying. Give its rear differential more protection on the way with this Almont 6 mm duralumin guard, made for the original rear differential arrangement on the listed VW vans.
SKU: PDWT56DIF6
The 6.5 kg plate suits Transporter, California and Multivan T5, T6 and T6.1 with the listed original 4Motion arrangement. It adds a dedicated guard beneath the rear differential, beyond the protection supplied by a front plate.
Certified AW5083 H111 duralumin gives you substantial, high-strength protection with less material weight than steel of the same size and thickness. A scrape will not start red rust in the alloy plate, making it a worthwhile addition to a vehicle you want 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 underbody protection since 1992, with input from vehicle preparers involved in the Dakar Rally and other rally-raid events. Designed and manufactured in Spain, its protection brings that specialist experience to the vehicle you drive and the trips you want to enjoy.

Designed for the original chassis, axle, suspension-link, transmission and stabiliser mounting arrangements. Raised suspension is compatible where those original supports are retained. Body lifts, differential-drop kits and altered mounting supports are incompatible.
If your van has the Seikel +35 mm height kit, choose the separate Seikel-specific differential guard.
Wash off mud and road salt after use. Almont recommends pressure washing at least annually, or two or three times a year for regular muddy or salty use, and checking bolt tightness annually. Follow the fitting instructions when refitting a guard after maintenance.
This guard is for the listed 4Motion rear differential arrangement.
Choose the dedicated PDWT56DIF26 Seikel +35 mm guard linked above, rather than selecting by the van generation alone.
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.
Three years against cracking of the plate. Dents, deformation and damage to the vehicle are excluded.
