Protect your Audi Q3 (2018-) II generation (F3) with the Kolchuga® skid plate, designed to safeguard your engine and gearbox. This protection is made from 2 mm steel, acting as a robust shield against the harsh impacts of the road. With a durable construction, this skid plate provides essential defense for your vehicle's critical components, ensuring they remain intact and functional.
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 effectively covers the engine and gearbox areas, ensuring comprehensive protection against impacts. Its construction includes reinforcing ribs and ventilation openings, which aid in maintaining optimal temperature while enhancing overall durability. Service access openings are also integrated, allowing for easy maintenance without removing the protection.
Kolchuga® protection shields your vehicle from rocks, ice, dirt, curbs, and speed bumps, significantly reducing the risk of damage. The installation process is straightforward, mounting directly to factory points without the need for drilling or modifications. This ensures mechanical protection, corrosion reduction, and aerodynamic improvement for your vehicle.
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.
