Gearbox & Engine Skid Plate for Lincoln MKТ (2009-2019) I generation incl. Facelift | Kolchuga®
Protect your Lincoln MKТ (2009-2019) I generation incl. facelift with Kolchuga® skid plates, available in durable 2 mm thick steel or 3 mm thick aluminum (AluOx®). This protection acts as a mechanical shield for your engine and gearbox, safeguarding critical components from harsh road conditions. With Kolchuga®, you ensure your vehicle remains shielded from impacts and damage, extending its lifespan and enhancing reliability.
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 |
Aluminum protection (thickness 3 mm)
The protection is made from the exclusive AluOx® aluminum alloy, alloyed with magnesium. The alloy is lightweight, strong, and durable; the addition of magnesium increases specific strength and provides corrosion resistance, especially in marine and chemically aggressive environments. This protection does not require additional protective coating or anodizing (unlike steel ones), as it has natural corrosion resistance.
This skid plate covers the engine and gearbox, ensuring comprehensive protection against impacts from rocks, ice, and road debris. Its design includes reinforcing ribs and ventilation openings to maintain optimal cooling for the engine and transmission. Service access openings allow for easy maintenance without removing the protection.
Kolchuga® protection effectively shields your vehicle from mechanical damage caused by road hazards. It reduces the risk of costly repairs and extends the life of crucial components. Installation is straightforward, requiring no drilling or modifications, as it mounts directly to factory points.
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.
