Seeing the pictures that were posted where someone had badly damaged the guard is reassuring but I'm still on the fence.


The Wolf sump guard is more of a sacrificial plate or a rubbing plate.... It gives you the opportunity to back off if you're driving slowly over an uneven surface. In the event of a hard hit, I'd imagine it offers more protection from catastrophic damage rather than causing more damage itself.

My son's school features about 10 speed humps which I go over very slowly - there are about 2 which always just catch a bit. Unprotected I'd be hitting the drain plug, instead I'm scuffing Wolf's plate.

I have no connection to selling these things, but they do more good than harm. Our engines are worth protecting. smile

I've a Wolf plate fitted, and a couple of speed bumps on my regular route that I glide over with the gentlest of touches.

At the other extreme, I found a pub exit that combined, slope, speedbump and drain in a perfect storm. It was fine going in, but coming out they colluded to firmly drop the car onto its sump guard. No harm was done - and I'd far rather the guard took the load than the sump plug.
