Radiator, Gearbox & Engine Skid Plate for Mercedes-Benz Vito (2004-2010) II generation (W639) | Kolchuga®
Protect your Mercedes-Benz Vito II generation (W639, 2004-2010) with Kolchuga® skid plates, made from 2 mm thick steel. This robust protection acts as a shield for your vehicle's most critical components, including the engine and gearbox. Designed for durability, it ensures that your vehicle withstands harsh conditions and road hazards, safeguarding against potential 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 |
This skid plate provides comprehensive coverage for essential areas, including the radiator, gearbox, and engine. Engineered with reinforcing ribs and strategically placed ventilation openings, it enhances structural integrity while ensuring optimal airflow for cooling. Additionally, some models feature service access openings, allowing for easy maintenance without removing the protection.
Kolchuga® skid plates are designed to withstand impacts from rocks, ice, dirt, curbs, and speed bumps, effectively preventing damage to critical components. The installation process is straightforward, mounting directly to factory points without the need for drilling or modifications. This not only enhances mechanical protection but also contributes to reduced corrosion and improved aerodynamics.
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.
