so i was leaving work and i heard something unusual with my car...so i pulled over and the skid plate fell! i dont know what caused this cause i am so carefull with my car! people are saying to take it off, and some say get another one..(my grandpop fixed it to the best of his ability so i can drive it)
but now im pariniod about it...
does the skid plate need to be there, or should i just throw down some money for a new one?
thankss!

 

just take it off. it isn't really necessary and too expensive to replace

imho

 

agreed! ^

 

ill agree too.mine got stuck on some deep snow i was driving through and pulled down, so i eventually had to take it off. 2 years and i would not know the difference

 

B6B7 Panzer Plate Heavy Duty Aluminum Skid Plate for all 20022007 Audi A4 Sedan or Avant by www.dieselgeek.com I have this on my car love well worth the pece of mind when im ice racing.

 

Tore mine off today in some snow, sounds like I'll just roll without it for now.

 

Skid plate prevents damaging other components especially for off-road driving. It is always better to replace the skid plate or the rough terrain might damage the components completely.

 

I do plan on putting one back on just not that cheap plastic one that tore off. I like that aluminum one mentioned in an earlier post.

We have a lot of snow this year, wondering how much will get packed in there.

 

yea im looking into the aluminum one too. i was about to start daving for onoe but my front axels and cv joints went so now i have to get that first!

 

mine came off aswell but thats because when i got my oil change a big guy was in it reversing it and lowered the car to the point that it caught on the rack and ripped it off luckily i happened to be there just intime to see it happen and made them replace it otherwise i dont think they would of told me and blamed it on me
