Electric engine Skid Plate for Audi Q8 E-tron (2022-) I generation (GE) Facelift | Kolchuga®
Protect your Audi Q8 E-tron (2022-) I generation (GE) Facelift with Kolchuga® skid plates, available in either a robust 2 mm thick steel or an exclusive 3 mm thick aluminum (AluOx®) variant. This premium protection serves as a mechanical shield for your electric engine, safeguarding it against road debris and impacts. With Kolchuga®, you can drive confidently knowing your vehicle's critical components are shielded from damage.
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 skid plate specifically covers the electric engine, providing comprehensive protection against potential impacts. Its construction features reinforcing ribs that enhance rigidity and shock absorption, while strategically placed ventilation openings ensure optimal airflow for cooling. Additionally, many models include service access openings for easy maintenance, allowing for oil changes without removing the protection.
The Kolchuga® skid plate protects against various road hazards including rocks, ice, dirt, curbs, and speed bumps, effectively reducing the risk of damage to your electric engine. The installation process is straightforward, requiring no drilling or modifications, as it mounts to the factory points on 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.
