Gearbox & Engine Skid Plate for Chevrolet Cruze (2016-2023) II generation (J400) incl. Facelift | Kolchuga®
Protect your Chevrolet Cruze (2016-2023) II generation (J400) with Kolchuga® skid plates, expertly crafted from 2 mm thick steel. This robust protection acts as a mechanical shield for your engine and oil pan, ensuring that these critical components remain safe from potential damage. With Kolchuga®, you gain peace of mind knowing your vehicle is equipped to withstand 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 gearbox and engine, providing extensive protection against impacts. Its construction features reinforcing ribs to enhance rigidity and durability. Additionally, ventilation openings are designed to maintain optimal cooling, while service access openings allow for easy oil changes without removing the protection.
Kolchuga® skid plates effectively shield your vehicle from rocks, ice, dirt, curbs, and speed bumps. They provide mechanical protection, reduce corrosion, and improve aerodynamics for a smoother ride. The installation process is straightforward, as the protection mounts directly to factory points without the need for drilling.
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.
