This skid plate provides comprehensive coverage for the gearbox and engine of your Mercedes-Benz Vito. Its construction features reinforcing ribs that enhance rigidity and impact absorption. Additionally, ventilation openings are incorporated to ensure optimal airflow, maintaining engine and transmission cooling, while service access openings allow for convenient maintenance without removing the protection.
Kolchuga® protection effectively shields against damage from rocks, ice, dirt, curbs, and speed bumps, providing peace of mind for any driving situation. Its installation is straightforward, as it mounts to factory points without the need for drilling or modifications. This ensures that your vehicle's integrity remains intact while benefiting from enhanced protection.
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.
