Re: skid plates
Im guessing shipping would be problem with the skid plate? all the you need to install these is a tap and die set? or is there some sort of special tools needed?
thanks again.James

Re: skid plates
Hrm I think I'd drive out to Red Deer for that. I'm assuming that theres no point for the oil drain hole if you take your filter off from the bottom anyway? I read it's just 5 or 6 bolts to get the plate off when changing oil?Geoff

Re: skid plates
The riv nuts can spin over time (as I found out on one) unless you weld them after you install them. So the oil drain hole does save time and wear and tear.Name: Brent

Re: skid plates

Re: skid plates
The filter is taken from the top on TDI's so that is where the oil hole is the most effective. Personally I love my EVO plate and it has saved me many a time.Name: Brent

Re: skid plates
On my 1.8 I can only get it from the bottom (unless there's another trick), so I'm assuming the plate would need to come over over and over for me. I don't mind the extra step, just don't want bolts coming lose.Geoff

Re: skid plates
the rive nuts would come loose because the threads would get corroded (spell check) and the oil change guy doing it would not put any anti sieze on the bolts also it dsent hurt to re torque the rive nut about evry third service ....if you have a 1.8 t no drain hole needed . you do need to remove it anyways yessigpicComment
