High-quality engine protection is available on the Ukrainian market at the MARKET.RIA.com store in a wide range. The products are manufactured by domestic and foreign manufacturers. There are offers differing in prices, physical-mechanical and operational parameters.
Selection Tips
The underbody of a vehicle needs protection. Even when the car is used only on city roads, its oil pan is constantly worn. Abrasive impact is continuous, and even road surfaces do not exclude it. Therefore, protective equipment is needed both for a car that drives exclusively in the city and for a car that often goes off-road or moves on rough terrain.
Oil pan protection should be selected according to the following recommendations:
Full set. When the set includes mounting elements and other components for installation, you won't have to look for them separately. Most responsible manufacturers offer protective covers in a complete set.
Model compliance. You cannot install a protective plate on a car that was made for another vehicle. Even if the protection fits the make and model but is designed for a different modification, its quality and performance suffer.
Installation in standard locations. If installing engine protection requires drilling the body or its load-bearing components, the device will damage the car. Violated body integrity leads to accelerated wear. Drilling points, if not properly treated, are subject to aggressive moisture exposure, causing corrosion that gradually spreads to metal components of the vehicle's technical part. If additional holes need to be drilled to mount the plate, it is better not to install the product at all.
Safe plate design. The vehicle's design is engineered to minimize harm to the driver and passengers in a collision. In a frontal impact, the engine will move downward or sideways. Many worry that after installing car protection, they will endanger themselves and passengers. But a proper plate is also installed at an angle to direct the engine away from the cabin, not into it.
Installation Tips
Installing car protection should not be done independently for several reasons:
The process requires professional equipment. Without a lift, it is impossible to install the plate correctly. A pit or jack is not suitable because they disrupt the vehicle's level position, and installation is not carried out according to instructions;
The process requires relevant knowledge and skills. A person without experience can handle the task if they use video or text instructions. But they cannot do the job properly due to lack of experience and skills;
The correct angle of the plate must be maintained. If this is not observed, the engine will not move away from the cabin in a frontal collision, thus violating safety standards.
When installing underbody protection, competent technicians add special gaskets to the structure. They improve the product's cushioning properties and reduce noise during vehicle operation. Without gaskets, metal covers rattle loudly, causing characteristic discomfort.
Purchase Tips
Any protective equipment for a vehicle should be purchased from reputable places. These are specialized stores or car dealers. When buying a new car, it is wiser to take advantage of sales managers' offers and immediately install factory protection.
However, many automotive manufacturers use standard production materials, so it is rare to choose a composite cover. If the car was purchased on the secondary market, protective equipment is bought separately.
It is more profitable and convenient to buy engine protection in Ukraine at the MARKET.RIA.com store. The company cooperates with manufacturers and suppliers, so competitive prices are set. But they are formed based on objective factors, so you can choose an option within your planned budget.
