WHY YOU SHOULD BUY EVOLUTIONS "THOR" ALUMINUM SKID PLATE!

Volkswagen's oil pans are made of a paper-thin cast aluminum that is easily cracked by many objects such as road debris, manhole covers and speed bumps. While your car may be at stock height, there is only approximately 4 inches of ground clearance with your oil pan. If you are lowered from stock height, there is very little room for error when negotiating an object in your path. Here is some information on this Evolution Aluminum Skid Plate for those of you that haven't seen it before.

  • The plate is 5052 grade aluminum and is 4.8mm (.191 inches) thick.
  • Protects your cars oil pan, a/c pump, radiator & transmission.
  • Bolts to you vehicle in five locations.
  • 45 to 60 minute install.
  • Once the plate is installed it is only 5 bolts that need to be removed for your oil change(1-2minutes).
  • Fits all engines and transmissions.
  • Never rusts.  
  • Maximum amount of ground clearance possible provided.
  • A detailed easy to follow, step by step guide only located on our website in the left nav menu under "Install Guides".   Click here to view. Thor-Passat-B5/B5.5-Install-Guide(PDF)
  • Air duct to allow air flow around transmission.
  • Specially designed so you won’t have to worry about air forcing your plastic tire well lining back and into your tires.
  • Designed, tested and proven by EVOLUTION IMPORT INC.
  • Shipped to your door step in a box as a complete kit. No other attachments need to be puchased.
  • Draft/Design by: I&J Drafting.
  • CNC Machine Manufactured.
Oil Changes: We make it easy for you. With the Thor skid plate we do not offer an oil drain hole option. If we were to put one on the skid plate, the hole would be located right on the ramped section of the skid plate. This would be bad as the hole could easily catch an object on the road causing a major hazard for you and other vehicles on the road. So the skid plate will need to be removed in order to gain access to the oil filter and drain plug. However if you want to put your own access holes into the skid plate, it is at your own risk. We have added two 1/2" sight holes so you can locate your oil plug for proper alignment while you cut your own oil drain hole. Removal of the skid plate for oil changes is very quick and easy taking 1-2 minutes. Only the bottom five bolts need to be removed and the skid plate drops right down and off of your VW. The aluminum side wings don't need to be unbolted from the skid plate.

Great Skid Plate November 11, 2009
Reviewer: S. Olsen from Norway  
- Good install guide.
-The amount of torque to tighten the rivet nut could be in Nm (like we use in Europe)
- Skid Plate looks nice and solid and fits like a glove.

Cons: Maybe the plate could extend a bit further back for better protection of the transmission (like the original plastic plate does)

Excellent product. July 24, 2007
Reviewer: Steven Vela from Corpus Christi, TX United States  
I love my 2002 GLX Passat and only buy the best - honestly.  The product and mounting hardware arrived promptly, was well packaged and includes everything necessary - shy a ratchet set.  It is a very well made product.

1. The provided online instructions are comprehensive and simple.  Print them out and 'digest' them before the install and you shouldn't have any problems.

2. It looks sharp and fits like a glove - everything lined up PERFECTLY.

3. I used the spacers to address my transmission occasionally rubbing the plate as it was a 'too perfect' fit.  With the spacers, no issues - I'm sure a smaller one, maybe even a single washer, would have done the trick.

No, I don't know these cats nor was there an incentive to write this - I was simply very impressed w/ the entire process and product that I thought I would take the time to say thanks for a job well done.

enjoy,

steve (savela @ clubb5)
