Aluminium alloy under body heat shields are engineered to protect vehicle floors and components from exhaust heat, but their steel mounting pins and clamping washers often fall victim to dissimilar metal corrosion. As the exhaust system heats up in operation and cools down afterward, the constant expansion and contraction stress the fixing points—causing the alloy around the washers to corrode, crumble, and enlarge the mounting holes. The result? Loose, rattling shields that can’t be re clamped securely.
The new
Heat Shield Repair Kit from
Connect Workshop Consumables (part number
34316), provides a simple, cost effective fix. Each kit includes five 52 mm alloy repair discs plus five matching clamping washers, allowing technicians to securely clamp the shield firmly back in place—eliminating noise and vibration without discarding perfectly serviceable shields.
34316 Heat Shield Repair Kit Contents: - 5× 52 mm heat shield discs: Reinforce enlarged or damaged mounting holes.
- 5× clamping washers: Match original fixings to restore secure clamping force.
- Ford & VW Group applications: Ideal for popular underbody shield layouts.
- Save time and money: Repair instead of replace—no need to source an entire new shield.
For easy installation, pair the kit with the Laser Tools’ clamping washer tool (part number
7347). And for a full selection of retaining hardware, see Connect part number
