Gearbox & Engine Skid Plate for Subaru Legacy (2019-) VII generation (BW) incl. Facelift | Kolchuga®

This robust shield is designed to safeguard critical components such as the engine and oil pan from potential damage caused by road hazards. With this protection, your vehicle gains a reliable defense against impacts, effectively serving as a shield for your oil pan.
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 engine and gearbox, ensuring comprehensive protection against various road impacts. Its construction includes reinforcing ribs that enhance rigidity, while strategically placed ventilation openings maintain optimal cooling for the engine and transmission. Additionally, some models feature service access openings, allowing for quick oil and filter changes without the need to remove the protection.
Kolchuga® protection effectively shields against potential damages from rocks, ice, dirt, curbs, and speed bumps. The installation process is straightforward, as it mounts directly to factory points without the need for drilling or additional modifications. This ensures that your vehicle's original integrity remains intact while enhancing its overall durability.
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.
