Engine Skid Plate for Cadillac ATS (2012-2019) I generation incl. Facelift | Kolchuga®
Protect your Cadillac ATS (2012-2019) with the Kolchuga® skid plate, crafted from 2 mm thick steel. This durable shield acts as a barrier for your engine, safeguarding critical components from damaging impacts. Designed specifically for the AWD variant, this protection ensures that your vehicle remains safe from the rigors of the road.
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 |
This skid plate covers the engine area, providing comprehensive protection against impacts. It features strategically placed reinforcing ribs that enhance structural integrity and ventilation openings that maintain optimal cooling for the engine. Additionally, service access openings allow for quick oil changes without removing the entire plate.
Kolchuga® protection effectively shields your engine from rocks, ice, dirt, curbs, and speed bumps. This robust design not only prevents costly damage but also reduces the risk of corrosion and improves aerodynamics, leading to better fuel efficiency. Installation is straightforward, requiring no drilling and utilizing factory mounting points for a secure fit.
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.
