Had this on my Golf MK2. Basically needs a plate welding there to pass the next MOT. Better off getting this done professionally, cost me £95 for both sides on mine.

seanl82 23 Posted September 5, 2013 As Tony said you'll need to get it done to get through MOT as its a structural area. Its very common on all cars of this vintage tbh, again as Tony said its through people jacking the car up around here. Shouldn't cost you too much to get it done properly, although if your confident with a MIG its not particularly difficult to sort yourself. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tonytiger 0 Posted September 5, 2013 As said, shouldn't be too bad to get sorted - either diy, or professionally. The only problem will be if it's corroded beyond what you can see, but I think you'll be okay. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sancho 10 Posted September 5, 2013 Thanks alot all, i just hope is not to far gone as i have/had some very big plans for this car. Your almost defiantly right about the jack as there is evidence along the sill that its been compressed. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DiamondTony 10 Posted September 5, 2013 My sill is compressed too, but I'm gonna just put plates there and weld them in when I need to, I have no holes on my C at moment (what I could see when I had it jacked up last week). Hope you manage to get it all sorted fella, should be a simple fix Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
