Protect your Audi Q3 (2011-2018) with Kolchuga® skid plates, crafted from durable 2 mm steel. This premium protection acts as a mechanical shield for your engine and gearbox, ensuring critical components remain safe from road hazards. With its robust design, it serves as a fortress against impacts, preserving the integrity of your vehicle's most vital parts.
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 the engine and gearbox areas, effectively safeguarding against mechanical damage. The design incorporates reinforcing ribs and strategically placed ventilation openings, promoting airflow and preventing overheating. Additionally, service access openings allow for quick maintenance without removing the shield.
Kolchuga® skid plates shield your Audi from impact damage caused by rocks, ice, curbs, and speed bumps. The installation process is straightforward, requiring no drilling and utilizing existing factory mounting points. This ensures a secure fit while enhancing aerodynamics and reducing corrosion risks.
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.
