ben16v 0 Posted November 22, 2005 you sure its the cross member, i think c`s are prone to rust on the front panel behind the bumper but i dont think its that much of a big deal (hope not as mine was wire brushed and waxoyled 2 years ago) ben Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dinkus 10 Posted November 23, 2005 Mine is rusty as heck too, but the actual structural bit is welded to it and is actually still fine, it's just the bit below it that's rusty. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
white_vw_corrado 0 Posted November 23, 2005 isnt the cross member the same on Golf mk2s? im sure you could just order a new one at a low price or eventually find a better one at a scrapyard off a decent jetta (jetta always better!) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

white_vw_corrado 0 Posted November 23, 2005 nah it is the same, im pretty sure, as it supports the engine the same. i can get you one fairly cheap if your interested Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
