Engine & Gearbox Skid Plate for Ford Edge (2014-) II generation (CD539) incl. Facelift | Kolchuga®
Introducing the Kolchuga® skid plate for the Ford Edge (2014-) II generation (CD539). This protection is made from 2 mm steel, designed to act as a robust shield for your engine and gearbox. It ensures that crucial components are safeguarded against potential damage from rocks, ice, and other road hazards. With this protective plate in place, you can drive with confidence, knowing your vehicle's underbody is well defended.
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 provides comprehensive coverage for the engine and gearbox, ensuring both are protected from impacts. The construction includes reinforcing ribs for added strength, as well as ventilation openings to maintain airflow and prevent overheating. Additionally, service access openings allow for easy oil and filter changes without needing to remove the protection.
Kolchuga® protection is engineered to shield against various road hazards including rocks, ice, and curbs, effectively preventing punctures and damage. Its installation reduces the risk of corrosion and enhances the vehicle's aerodynamics, which may contribute to improved fuel efficiency. The skid plate is designed for easy installation at factory mounting points, requiring no 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.
