Gearbox & Engine Skid Plate for Acura MDX (2022-) IV generation (YD8\9) | Kolchuga®
Protect your Acura MDX (2022-) IV generation (YD8\9) with Kolchuga® skid plates, expertly crafted from 2 mm thick steel. This robust protection acts as a shield for your engine and gearbox, safeguarding the most critical components from potential damage caused by road debris and obstacles. With its durable construction, this skid plate ensures peace of mind during your travels.
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, providing comprehensive protection against impacts from rocks, ice, and other road hazards. Its construction features reinforcing ribs that enhance rigidity and shock absorption, while strategically placed ventilation openings allow for optimal cooling of the engine and transmission. Some models also include service access openings for easy maintenance.
The Kolchuga® skid plate effectively mitigates damage from road debris, ensuring your engine and gearbox are shielded from punctures and impacts. It also reduces the ingress of dirt and moisture, which can lead to corrosion, thereby extending the lifespan of crucial components. Installation is straightforward, as it mounts directly to factory points without the need for drilling or welding.
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.
