It is necessary to install an engine guard plate on a car, and its functions are: 1. It can protect engine components and various pipelines, preventing damage caused by contact and friction with the ground under harsh working conditions; 2. It improves the smooth flow of air under the car, reduces wind resistance and wind noise, thereby improving fuel economy and overall vibration and noise performance. The engine guard plate is an engine protection device designed specifically for various car models, preventing mud from covering the engine. Through a series of designs, it extends the service life of the engine and avoids car breakdowns due to external factors damaging the engine during travel.
I've been driving for over a decade and changed cars three times. Each time I got a new car, I installed an engine guard plate. This thing is like putting armor on your car - especially when driving on rough rural roads where stones and branches keep clanging against the chassis. The guard plate has saved me from damage several times. Last time when I drove through potholes on my way back home, I clearly heard a loud crack. Upon inspection later, I found a long scratch on the guard plate while the engine housing remained completely intact. However, it's less necessary for city driving where road conditions are better, as it might actually affect heat dissipation. Whether to install one depends on what kind of roads you usually drive on. For friends who frequently drive through construction sites or rural roads, I sincerely recommend getting one - spending 300-400 yuan can save you from major repair costs.
