Protect your Volkswagen Touareg II (2010-2018) with Kolchuga® skid plates, made from durable 2 mm thick steel. This protection acts as a shield for your oil pan and critical components, ensuring they remain safe from potential damage caused by road hazards. Designed for perfect compatibility with your vehicle, it provides peace of mind while navigating various terrains.
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 covers essential areas, including the gearbox, engine, radiator, and transfer case. Its reinforced construction features ribs for added rigidity and ventilation openings to maintain proper cooling. Additionally, service access openings allow for convenient oil changes without removing the protection.
Kolchuga® skid plates effectively guard against impacts from rocks, ice, curbs, and speed bumps. The installation process is straightforward, mounting directly to the factory points of your vehicle 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.
