iow_corrado_g60 0 Posted February 21, 2006 hi all when i go to the bodyshop to enquire about the smoothed rear my mate said to ask about undersealing the car what does this do and is it worth it thanks andy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dr_mat 0 Posted February 21, 2006 It might stop it rusting ... But VWs aren't known for rusting, as they're usually pretty well undersealed in the factory. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tempest 0 Posted February 22, 2006 I do spend a bit of time underneath my cars each summer checking for damage on the underseal and where damaged, rust almost immediately starts to form. Treat the rust, then reseal using something like Tetroseal or similar thick goo stuff. Tempest Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
corradophil 3 Posted February 22, 2006 Treat the rust, then reseal using something like Tetroseal or similar thick goo stuff. And a damn good clean up and a nice heavy coat of waxoil won't go a miss either. Even more usefull waxoil the insides of the rear quarters, sills, doors etc. It smells but it will offer some extra protection. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
g60griff 0 Posted February 22, 2006 i was going to do this after i took mine for the mot last year but the tester told me it was solid and there was plenty of underseal, ive just gone for the test this year and its failed on a rust patch to the floorpan around the drivers seat, how pissed off am i.
