Engine, Gearbox & Rear differential Skid Plate for Subaru Legacy (2009-2012) V generation (BМ) | Kolchuga®
Introducing the Kolchuga® skid plate for the Subaru Legacy (2009-2012) V generation. This protection is made from 2 mm steel, providing robust defense for your vehicle's critical components. Designed as a mechanical shield, it safeguards your engine, oil pan, and transmission from potential damage caused by road debris and impacts. This product serves as a reliable barrier, ensuring your vehicle remains protected on any terrain.
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 multiple critical areas including the engine, gearbox, and rear differential. Its construction features reinforcing ribs that enhance rigidity and impact absorption, while strategically placed ventilation openings ensure optimal airflow and temperature regulation. The design may also include service access openings for convenient maintenance, allowing you to change oil and filters without removing the protection.
Kolchuga® skid plates protect against a variety of hazards, including rocks, ice, curbs, and speed bumps. This mechanical shield reduces the risk of punctures and damage to vital components, extending the lifespan of your vehicle. Installation is straightforward, as the protection mounts to 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.
