The probability of damage to the oil crankcase of the motor on domestic cars is quite large. Even the most accurate owner is not insured from it. Therefore, the first thing to be done when buying a vehicle is to install protection. Apply the damage to the pallet of the oil crankcase is very easy, hitting the pit, having hitting the border or other obstacles, which are quite enough on our roads. But even a small crack in the pallet will inevitably lead to leaks of oil, and then to breakage of the entire motor.

Carter Protection, Why Need Protection

I look at the protection of Carter is nothing unusual. This product is a specific form, which is made of metal or other materials and is intended to protect the motor. In the design of the crankcase protection, technological bends and special fastenings for its fixation to the bottom of the car are provided.

This protection is very effective while driving on uneven roads or rough terrain, when a variety of obstacles are capable of getting a motor carcard and damage it. It is worth noting that the crankcase protection is particularly important for cars with low ground clearance, which constantly relate to the bottom of uneven surfaces.

Do not save on this device, as in the end you can lose much more. Damage to the motor and the appearance of cracks on the crankcase can lead to a very strong leakage of oil. If you do not notice and not eliminate the problem in a timely manner, the power node will work without lubricating material, as a result of which the motor overhaul will be the only way out of the situation.

In addition, I would like to note the main advantages and disadvantages of the protection of the Carter. The clear advantages of such protection include preventing damage to the motor's high stones, protruding fittings from the ground, stumps and other diverse irregularities of our roads - this is the main function that the crankcase is protected.

As for the shortcomings, there are several of them:

1. Installation of protection reduces the road clearance of the vehicle.
2. Metal structures weigh a lot, which makes the car harder.
3. Such protection is expensive that when buying often stops car owners.

VAZ protection, types of protection

Modern protection is made from a variety of materials that have their own distinctive features:

1. Aluminum is one of the best options. He has a relatively small mass and a unique thickness that is capable of reaching five millimeters. By cons of this design, a high price can be attributed, which is several times higher than that of the main competitors. Although the shelf life of aluminum protection is decades, in the influences of chemical reagents and operation of protection in urban conditions, corrosion is possible.
2. Stainless steel is no less popular material to protect the motor. The advantages of this material are the maximum resistance to corrosion and shocks, but its cost does not please.
3. Titanium is a high-quality material that entered all the best properties of aluminum. Such protection has high strength, but due to the exorbitant price of it, as a rule, is installed only on branded cars.
4. Composite materials are a very common option. Often, a special fiberglass is used in the manufacture, which has a resistance to corrosion, worthy of appearance and high level of strength.
   
5. Steel is considered the most budget material that is used to manufacture the motor protection. Such structures protect the Carter from obstacles flying to it, and also prevent strong blows about the lower surface of the surface of the power node. The main advantage is affordable price, rigidity, maintainability. By minuses of steel protection include its exposure to corrosion, from which even special compositions are not able to save. The shelf life of steel depends on a number of factors - the manufacturer, the style of driving owner, weather conditions at the vehicle operation site and so on.

Tips Profi, what to choose protection

1. Rigidity. High-quality and efficient protection should be tight. If, during pressing a sharp or blunt subject, the surface begins, this design is useless. Quite often on the market you can see the Chinese "armor" with a thickness of one millimeter. It is worth saying that she will not protect Carter from a serious obstacle, the maximum that she can - defend the crankcase from small stones.
   
2. Security. With this criterion, almost no one pays attention to what is wrong. With a direct encounter, cheap protection is capable of being unpredictable - to deform the body of the vehicle, enter the salon and apply additional damage to passengers.
3. Silent. An additional design in the lower part of the engine is able to cause extraneous sounds when driving, which is unlikely to bring pleasure from acquiring. To avoid such problems, choose only verified manufacturers, and the installation of the product trust only professionals.
4. Thickness. Regardless of the crankcase protection material, you should focus on this parameter. If the thickness of the structure is less than three millimeters, there will be few benefits from it.
5. Price. Undoubtedly, it is advisable to buy more expensive products, as they are the highest quality and, accordingly, will most effectively protect the motor of your vehicle from a variety of damage.
6. Another important parameter is the presence of special holes that do not allow the motor to overheat.

Installation of protection on the VAZ, step-by-step instruction

1. First of all, it is necessary to drive the vehicle to the overpass or on the observation pit.
2. Next, we unscrew the two nuts of the front suspension crabs.
3. Then we unscrew the two nuts of the silent blocks of the front levers.
4. After that, we apply protection to the right place.
5. Now we screw the front mud flaps to protect the crankcase.
6. Next, we screw to the brackets of spars screws.
7. After that, screw the crankcase protection to the mudguards.
8. Then we screw the five nuts ahead to the front bumper.
