Gearbox & Engine Skid Plate for Mercedes-Benz Vito (2019-2023) III generation (W447) Facelift | Kolchuga®
Protect your Mercedes-Benz Vito (2019-2023) III generation (W447) with Kolchuga® skid plates, designed to provide robust defense for your engine and gearbox. This protection is made from 2 mm steel, ensuring a strong barrier against potential damage. Think of it as a shield for your oil pan and transmission, safeguarding these vital components from road hazards.
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 critical areas including the engine and gearbox, providing comprehensive protection against impacts. The design features reinforcing ribs that enhance durability, while ventilation openings ensure optimal airflow for cooling. Additionally, service access openings allow for convenient maintenance without removing the entire protection plate.
Kolchuga® skid plates effectively shield your vehicle from impacts caused by rocks, ice, curbs, and speed bumps. The mechanical protection not only reduces the risk of costly repairs but also minimizes corrosion and enhances aerodynamics. Installation is straightforward, as it mounts directly to factory points without the need for drilling or modifications.
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.
