VR6Rich 3 Posted August 16, 2004 Report Share Posted August 16, 2004 Just looked at my history and I did have full VW history before I got hold of it! Didnt realise that. :-) No longer full now though.Id try it anyway as they didnt look at my service pages in the book, just took a copy of the front page with the VIN, paint code, etc on it.Its worth a try.

jcorallo 0 Posted August 23, 2004 Report Share Posted August 23, 2004 I repaired a gapping hole in my MKIII this weekend.Under the rainguard, where the Engine ECU sits, a small area around the heater intake vent cover had rusted through - the portion that holds the stud that the vent cover is fastened to - gone! So any water getting into that area potentially ended up in the footwell... depending which way the car was facing as there is a drainage gutter very close to that spot....Looks like the original sealant/paint hadnt stuck to the underlying metal at all in that area - as I peeled what appeared to be unblemished sealant away, it revealed a totally orange crumbly surface...... &| So I had to keep peeling until I got to clean metal before I could re-paint and re-seal. In the end, the hole was about 2 inches square and the rust patch was about 4 inches sqaure.Jules Link to post Share on other sites
