Engine & Gearbox Skid Plate for Mazda 3 (2019-) IV generation (BP) | Kolchuga®
Protect your Mazda 3 (2019-) IV generation (BP) with the Kolchuga® skid plate, designed to serve as a robust shield for your engine and gearbox. This protection is available in two material options: durable 2 mm thick steel or lightweight 3 mm thick aluminum (AluOx®). The primary purpose of this protection is to guard critical components from mechanical damage caused by road hazards.
The main Kolchuga® protection panel is made from high-quality steel with a thickness of 2 mm. Steel protection is available with two coating options, providing different levels of corrosion protection.
| Coating | Protection Technology | Purpose and Benefits | Corrosion Warranty |
|---|---|---|---|
| WhiteCover® | Hot-dip galvanizing (compliant with EN ISO 1461). | Reliable and long-lasting coating. Ideal for vehicles with very intensive use (e.g., commercial vehicles). | Up to 24 months |
| ZiPoFlex® | Premium combination: Hot-dip galvanizing + Polymer painting + Polymer lacquer. | The ultimate solution for any, even the most demanding operating conditions (corrosivity category C5). | Up to 36 months |
Aluminum protection (thickness 3 mm)
The protection is made from the exclusive AluOx® aluminum alloy, alloyed with magnesium. The alloy is lightweight, strong, and durable; the addition of magnesium increases specific strength and provides corrosion resistance, especially in marine and chemically aggressive environments. This protection does not require additional protective coating or anodizing (unlike steel ones), as it has natural corrosion resistance.
This skid plate covers the engine and gearbox areas, ensuring complete protection against impacts. The design incorporates reinforcing ribs and strategically placed ventilation openings to enhance airflow and maintain optimal temperatures. Service access openings allow for quick maintenance without removing the protection.
This skid plate effectively shields against rocks, ice, dirt, curbs, and speed bumps, providing mechanical protection to the engine and gearbox. The installation process is straightforward, mounting directly to the factory points without the need for drilling or modifications.
How does Kolchuga® protection differ from the factory one? The factory (stock) protection is typically a plastic dust cover (splash guard) or thin composite material. Its main function is protection from dirt and dust. In contrast, Kolchuga® protection is a durable metal plate (steel or aluminum) that serves as a mechanical shield. It provides reliable protection from impacts against rocks, branches, or open manholes. The key difference: Factory protection guards against dirt, while Kolchuga® guards against impact.
