This robust protection acts as a shield for your engine and oil pan, effectively guarding against the harsh impacts of the road. Designed specifically for your vehicle, it ensures a perfect fit and reliable defense against damage.
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 critical areas including the gearbox and engine, providing comprehensive protection against potential damage. Its construction features reinforcing ribs and ventilation openings that allow for optimal airflow while maintaining engine cooling. Service access openings are included for easy maintenance, making it a practical choice for vehicle owners.
Kolchuga® protection effectively shields your vehicle from rocks, ice, dirt, curbs, and speed bumps, ensuring that your engine and oil pan remain safe from harm. Installation is straightforward, as the protection mounts directly to factory points without the need for drilling or modifications, allowing for a quick and hassle-free setup.
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.
