If you've ever lifted your car and looked at the undercarriage of your vehicle, you could be aware of a massive plastic cover. It's known as an engine splash shield, and it's used on a variety of cars to protect the vehicle's engine from the wear and tear of bumps on the road. However, if you drive over bumps that are too large or fast-moving, you could scratch or damage your engine splash shield .

The engine splash shield protects your vehicle from debris

The engine splash shield protects the undercarriage of your car from debris by deflecting it from the underside. If the undercarriage becomes damaged, this could lead to expensive repairs or replacements. Preventive measures like washing and waxing will help maintain the condition of the shield. When purchasing a new car, make sure that it has an up-to-date engine protection system installed. This will ensure that any damage or imperfections are taken care of before they become worse and more costly to fix. Your car has one engine shield between each wheel so make sure you check them all!

It can help prevent engine damage

If you have an older car, it might not have an engine protection cover. If this is the case, it's important that the undercarriage of the vehicle be checked regularly. 

Driving with a dragging engine splash shield can cause damage to the water pump and seals on your engine, which could lead to costly repairs if left untreated. 

The best way to avoid this problem is by getting out and looking at the bottom of your car every once in a while. You want to make sure there isn't any dirt or other obstructions that might be causing it to drag on the ground. 

If there are any problems with how high up from the ground it should be, then take your car into a shop and get them fixed as soon as possible.

You should replace your engine splash shield if it becomes damaged

You should always replace the engine splash shield when it becomes damaged. A dragging or damaged one could cause scratches and scrapes on the car and make it more likely that the sheet metal will be scraped up by any road hazards, rocks, or other debris that may be encountered. Not only that, but a damaged or dragging one can also become a safety hazard while driving. The last thing you want is to have an object fly up and hit the underside of your car with enough force to dent or pierce through the sheet metal.

Can you drive with a dragging splash shield? Yes! At least for about 100-500 miles before you may need to replace it. A new engine splash shield will not only protect the car from further damage, but it will also allow you to continue driving without worrying about getting in another accident because of a loose or dragging splash guard.

There are a variety of engine splash shields available

Engine Splash Shields are available in a variety of styles, shapes, and sizes. You may want to consider the size of the car when looking for a new Splash Shield. There are some that can be installed on a few different models of vehicles, but there are also those that will only work on one specific make and model. If you have any questions about which style would be best for your vehicle, please feel free to contact us at any time. We will gladly help guide you through this process.
