Radiator, Front electric engine & Rear electric engine Skid Plate for Volkswagen ID.4 (2020-) I generation (E21) | Kolchuga®
Protect your Volkswagen ID.4 (2020-) with Kolchuga® skid plates, designed to provide robust underbody defense. Available in two materials, 2 mm thick steel or a premium 3 mm thick aluminum (AluOx®), these skid plates act as a mechanical shield for your vehicle's critical components. Safeguard your oil pan, transmission, and electric engine from potential damage with this reliable accessory.
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 offers comprehensive coverage, protecting your radiator and both front and rear electric engines. Its advanced design includes reinforcing ribs for added rigidity and strategically placed ventilation openings to maintain optimal airflow and cooling. Additionally, many models feature service access openings for easy maintenance.
Kolchuga® skid plates protect against impacts from rocks, ice, curbs, and speed bumps, ensuring your vehicle's underbody remains intact. Installing this protection not only enhances mechanical defense but also reduces the ingress of dirt and moisture, improving overall maintenance. The installation process is straightforward, as it mounts 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.

How thick are the Kolchuga® skid plates for Volkswagen ID.4?
The Kolchuga® skid plates for the Volkswagen ID.4 come in two thickness options: a sturdy 2 mm thick steel and a premium 3 mm thick aluminum (AluOx®). This variety allows customers to select the best material suited for their driving style and conditions. The 2 mm steel skid plate is designed for those seeking excellent durability at a budget-friendly weight, while the 3 mm aluminum offers enhanced protection with reduced weight, making it ideal for off-road driving. Regardless of the choice, both options effectively protect critical underbody components from damage.

While the exact weight varies depending on the vehicle configuration, steel generally weighs about 20% more than aluminum of the same thickness. This weight difference can impact vehicle handling and fuel efficiency; hence, aluminum is favored for performance-oriented drivers. Choosing the right material allows you to balance protection with driving dynamics, ensuring your ID.4 performs optimally on any terrain.
