Description
Oil Pan Baffle for 8v & 16v. These German made baffles are also known as a windage tray. This will fit all Mk1, Mk2 & Mk3 – 4 cylinder 8v & 16v engines. These will both seal the oil pan, so no need for a gasket as it has one built in. However we recommend putting a thin coat of RTV on either side, just incase the oil pan has any deformation. This tray prevents oilĀ “slosh” when cornering, which will starve the oil pump feed, from picking up oil.

Why you should upgrade to a Oil Pan Baffle
Upgrading your Mk1, Mk2, or Mk3 Volkswagen with an oil pan baffle is a smart investment for improved engine performance and longevity.
These iconic Volkswagens, known for their spirited driving characteristics, can suffer from oil starvation during hard cornering or spirited driving. This occurs when oil sloshes away from the oil pickup, leaving the engine starved of lubrication.
About Baffles
An oil pan baffle acts as a barrier within the oil pan, preventing excessive oil movement during aggressive maneuvers. This ensures a consistent supply of oil to the engine, even under demanding conditions.
Benefits of an oil pan baffle include:
- Improved engine lubrication: Ensures consistent oil flow to critical engine components, reducing wear and tear.
- Increased engine reliability: Minimizes the risk of engine damage caused by oil starvation.
- Enhanced performance: Allows the engine to operate at its full potential without the risk of oil starvation limiting performance.
- Peace of mind: Provides confidence knowing your engine is receiving adequate lubrication, even during spirited driving.
By installing a baffle, you can enhance the performance, reliability, and longevity of your beloved Volkswagen.
