Gearbox, Engine & Rear differential Skid Plate for Subaru Outback (2014-2021) V generation (BS) incl. Facelift | Kolchuga®
Protect your Subaru Outback (2014-2021) V generation (BS) with Kolchuga® engine protection, made from durable 2 mm thick steel. This robust shield acts as a barrier for your engine oil pan and transmission, safeguarding them from potential damage caused by road hazards. With Kolchuga®, you invest in reliable protection that enhances the longevity of your vehicle.
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 critical areas, including the gearbox, engine, and rear differential. Its construction features reinforcing ribs and ventilation openings that allow for optimal airflow, ensuring efficient thermal management. Additionally, service access openings facilitate easy maintenance without the need to remove the protection.
Kolchuga® engine protection effectively shields against impacts from rocks, ice, dirt, curbs, and speed bumps. Its robust design ensures mechanical protection, reducing the risk of costly repairs due to undercarriage damage. Installation is straightforward, as the protection mounts to the factory points without any 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.
