Gearbox, Engine & Rear differential Skid Plate for Subaru Legacy (2012-2014) V generation (BR) Facelift | Kolchuga®
Protect your Subaru Legacy (2012-2014) V generation (BR) Facelift with the Kolchuga® skid plate, crafted from durable 2 mm steel. This essential accessory serves as a mechanical shield for your vehicle, safeguarding critical components from potential damage. Designed to absorb impacts, the skid plate acts like a protective barrier against rocks and debris, ensuring your engine and oil pan remain secure.
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 protection covers the gearbox, engine, and rear differential, ensuring comprehensive safeguarding of vital vehicle components. Constructed with features like reinforcing ribs and ventilation openings, the skid plate enhances rigidity while allowing for optimal airflow to maintain engine performance. Additionally, service access openings simplify maintenance, allowing for quick oil and filter changes without removing the protection.
The Kolchuga® skid plate protects against common road hazards such as rocks, ice, dirt, and curbs. Its mechanical shield helps prevent damage to the engine and oil pan, while its aerodynamic design may improve fuel efficiency. The installation process is straightforward, utilizing factory mounting 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.
