An engine and transmission guard may prove use-ful, depending on the conditions in which the vehi-cle is to be driven. An engine and transmission guard can reduce the risk of damage to the vehi-cle's underbody and engine oil sump, for example when driving over kerbs, driveways or unsurfaced roads. Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles recom-mends using a Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles dealership for this purpose.
