corrosion

[gdallas]

Hi,

looks like i can see what looks like rust starting to form in the corner where my wheel arch meets my sil. paints flaked off a little presumably from stones etc.

any suggestions on how I tackle this issue? I can post pics if it helps?

Thanks

If the rust has come from beneath the paint it could be covered under the 12 year corrosion guarantee.

Search "corrosion" as there have been a few big threads on this issue on the passat and a6.

If your car is under 3years old, it will be a paint warranty, and they will fix it right away, otherwise its an uphill battle under the 12year warranty

Is not that much of a battle tbh if the corrosion comes from beneath the paint.

If its there because of an external factor such as a stone chip then it won't be covered.
