OVERVIEW
Factory magnet for the transmission oil pan
Genuine VW/Audi 09D-321-368 sits at the designated location inside the automatic transmission oil pan. It collects magnetically attracted wear particles carried by the fluid during normal operation.
The flat rectangular form fits the assigned pan location without changing the original arrangement. This listing supplies one dry magnet, separate from the transmission pan, filter, gasket and fluid.
Technical details
- Complete factory number: 09D-321-368.
- Factory specification: factory transmission oil pan magnet, number 09D-321-368.
- Design: compact flat rectangular magnetic insert.
- Quantity supplied: one individual transmission pan magnet.
A magnet attracts ferrous particles; it does not replace the filter or remove all types of contamination. The required quantity depends on the transmission pan: some listed arrangements use two magnets, while the specified Touareg 09D pan uses four. Check the original service layout and order the quantity required for the repair.
Common reasons to replace
- A magnet was lost or omitted during previous pan service.
- The original magnet is cracked, chipped or physically damaged.
- A replacement pan requires the original assigned magnet arrangement to be restored.
A serviceable magnet may be cleaned and reused when the factory repair instructions permit it. Inspect the collected material during service: abnormal chips or excessive debris require transmission diagnosis rather than replacement of the magnet alone.
