Any of you guys used the underseal stuff from VW?

I was lucky by the look of it then! No pin holes anywhere and only one mounting stud that was starting the crumble/separation at the welds which I managed to grind back. I think the fact that the sump and lower chain cover had been leaking so long it  saved my bacon and gave the underside a misting of oil actually paid dividends! The only bit that needed welding was a couple of blobs to a 5p sized hole at one of the filler mounts. A mate with a mig sorted that for me, and a 2.5mm drill bit and tap sorted it perfectly. 👍

I agree we should all have oil spray jets pointing to the back of our car's, just in case 😆  Wish I had a decent oil leak 😫😆👍

Good to hear yours was only minimal 👍

It's the modern equivalent of the oily rag refurb that you mentioned earlier Si! 😆

Looks like VW test their current vehicles up to roughly 6 months continuously, to see how they do against rust. Then completely strip the vehicles down once all corrosion testing is done.

They state 6 months of continuous testing equals to about 12 years of ownership ?

I'm using some thick seam sealer as a protective coat instead of underseal, on the areas I've repaired, then as a precaution I'll try this stuff over the top of the seam sealer.

TechniQ Stone Chip 

 

 

Before I even applied the seam sealer, I painted a few layers of paint first, zink or galvanized paint, then some red oxide paint, then used some Hammerite stone chip, once that was dry then applied the seam sealer.
