Engine & Gearbox Skid Plate for Volvo V60 (2018-) II generation (225 mm) incl. Facelift | Kolchuga®
Protect your Volvo V60 (2018-) II generation (225 мм) with Kolchuga® skid plates, crafted from durable materials to shield your engine and gearbox from potential damage. Available in two robust materials, 2 mm steel or 3 mm aluminum (AluOx®), these skid plates act as a formidable barrier, ensuring your vehicle remains in peak condition. Think of it as a shield for your oil pan, designed to withstand the rigors of the road.
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 offers comprehensive coverage for the engine and gearbox, ensuring that critical components are shielded from potential impacts. Designed with reinforcing ribs and strategically placed ventilation openings, it maintains optimal airflow while providing robust protection. Service access openings allow for quick maintenance without the need to remove the entire shield.
Kolchuga® skid plates defend against various road hazards such as rocks, ice, curbs, and speed bumps, significantly reducing the risk of damage. Installation is straightforward, as the protection mounts directly to the factory points without requiring any drilling or modifications, ensuring a seamless 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.
