Electric engine Skid Plate for Audi Q8 55 E-tron (2019-2022) I generation (GE) | Kolchuga®
Protect your Audi Q8 55 E-tron (2019-2022) with Kolchuga® skid plates, designed to provide robust shielding for your electric engine. This protection is available in two material variants: 2 mm thick steel or 3 mm thick aluminum (AluOx®). With its durable construction, this skid plate acts as a mechanical shield, safeguarding critical components from potential damage caused by road hazards. Experience peace of mind knowing that your vehicle is equipped with a protective layer that stands strong against impacts.
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 Kolchuga® skid plate covers the electric engine, ensuring maximum protection against road debris and impacts. Its engineered design includes reinforcing ribs and strategically placed ventilation openings to maintain optimal cooling for the engine. Additionally, service access openings allow for easy maintenance without removing the protection.
Kolchuga® skid plates effectively shield against rocks, ice, dirt, curbs, and speed bumps, providing a reliable barrier for your vehicle's components. Installation is straightforward, as the protection mounts directly to factory points without the need for drilling or modifications, ensuring a secure fit.
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.
