Oil Pan
The oil pan consists of two cast-aluminium
parts.
The lines for the oil scavenge pumps are located
in the upper part of the oil pan. The lower part of
the oil pan contains the oil level sensor and the
wash plates that are used to calm the oil in the
oil sump.
The Touareg has a deep, lower part of the oil
pan, so it can hold a large amount of oil. In
addition, the lower part of the oil pan of the
Touareg has elastic flap traps. These prevent the
oil sump from running dry when driving on
inclines.
