Mechanical Innovations
Due to the off-road capability of the

driving on steep inclines and fording
streams. To meet these demands, certain
components have been modified compared
to those used in the same engine in
the Phaeton.

A new deeper oil pan ensures that there is
always sufficient oil being pumped through
the engine lubrication system, regardless of
the inclination of the vehicle. The oil pump
has been adapted to the new oil pan in the
area of oil intake.
