VW Mud Flap Kit - Genuine VW 5N0075111

Product Information

A mud flap (also called a splash guard) is a flexible or rigid panel installed behind a vehicle’s wheels. Its main role is to protect the vehicle, passengers, and other road users from debris, mud, rocks, and water thrown up by the rotating tires. Mud flaps are common on trucks, SUVs, and commercial vehicles, but are also found on cars for extra protection.

• Loose or missing mud flap – detaches due to broken fasteners or damage.
• Cracked, torn, or warped flap – from road debris, impacts, or weathering.
• Uneven tire spray – mud, water, or rocks hitting the body more than usual.

About Genuine VW

The Volkswagen Group, also known as “VAG”, consists of Volkswagen, Audi, Lamborghini, Bentley, Bugatti, Porsche, Ducati, MAN, Scania, SEAT, and Skoda. The original parts used by VW to build your car are available as replacement parts under the “Genuine VW” brand. Manufactured under the direction of VW, expect excellent quality and a premium price since these parts are available exclusively through the VW Dealership network.

You may not realize this, but the parts that make up your VW are not necessarily manufactured by VW. No cause for concern, as VW designs the part, hires a manufacturer, and ensures its quality to you. In fact, many of these manufacturers have been making parts for VW for decades. In our industry these manufacturers are called OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturers), and these are often brands you recognize, including Lemforder, ZF, Sachs, Bosch, Valeo, Zimmermann, Siemens VDO, Corteco, and more. Don’t be surprised to open that Genuine VW parts box and find an OEM branded part inside, simply with the addition of a VW logo.

Be sure to keep an eye out for OE tags on our product pages to quickly identify parts coming directly from OE manufacturers. That extra bit of insight could save you some serious money while shopping! Refer to our OE Academy for further information regarding the OE/OEM tags throughout the site.
