Gearbox, Engine, Transfer case & Rear differential Skid Plate for Audi Q7 (2005-2010) I generation (4L) | Kolchuga®
Protect your Audi Q7 (2005-2010) I generation (4L) with a Kolchuga® skid plate, made from durable 2 mm steel. This protection acts as a robust shield for your engine, oil pan, and transmission, ensuring that your critical components remain safe from potential damage caused by road hazards. With its reliable construction, this skid plate is essential for maintaining the integrity of your vehicle's underbody.
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 provides comprehensive coverage for the gearbox, engine, transfer case, and rear differential. Its construction includes reinforcing ribs and ventilation openings to optimize airflow and enhance impact absorption. Additionally, service access openings allow for easy maintenance without the need to remove the protection.
Kolchuga® protection effectively shields against impacts from rocks, ice, curbs, and speed bumps, ensuring that your vehicle remains in optimal condition. The installation process is straightforward, as it mounts directly to factory points without any drilling or modifications, making it a convenient addition to 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.
