Engine Skid Plate for Volkswagen Touareg (2018-2023) III generation (CR) incl. Facelift | Kolchuga®
Protect your Volkswagen Touareg (2018-2023) III generation (CR) with Kolchuga® skid plates, available in either 2 mm thick steel or 3 mm thick aluminum (AluOx®). These premium skid plates serve as a robust shield for your engine, safeguarding it against harsh impacts from road debris. Designed to enhance your vehicle's durability, this protection is essential for maintaining the integrity of critical components beneath your vehicle.
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 covers the engine, providing a strong barrier against impacts from rocks, ice, and road debris. Its design includes reinforcing ribs and ventilation openings that maintain optimal airflow for engine cooling while ensuring easy access for maintenance. Service access openings are also integrated for quick oil and filter changes, enhancing convenience for vehicle owners.
The Kolchuga® skid plate is engineered to absorb impacts, preventing damage to critical components such as the oil pan and transmission. By reducing the ingress of dirt and moisture, it helps prolong the life of the engine. Installation is straightforward, requiring no drilling or modifications, as it mounts directly to the vehicle's factory points.
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.
