Do mk6's rust?

(1/3) > >>

Chris92:
Does any know or seen any mk6 golfs with rust on? We all know the places where rust likes to be on the mk5 but haven't seen any on the mk6......yet atleast. My mk5 just got rust coming through on both doors in the bottom right corner by the wing (3door)  :sick:  :sick:

As the wing/sill issues were well-known on the mk5, they should have definitely ironed this out on the 6.

I owned a 3 year old mk6 and had no signs of corrosion

PT82:
Seen videos on YouTube of soaking wet sponge/sound deadening in front wings of mk6 Golfs.

Matthewsimone:
Yep don't kid yourselfs that the mk6 will be any better than the mk5 as it's essentially the same car/chassis!
Poor design where wing meets sill and absorbent sponges stuffed inside wings that will rot them from inside out nicely  :sick:
My mk5 is rust free, 1st thing i did when bought it was remove arch liners and trim back those sponges and then apply a few layers of Bilt hamber S50 clear wax/corrosion sealer killer to inside of all arches as the rear arches are known to rust too!
Plenty Hd wax applied around the rear VW boot badge/handle too  :happy2:

skard:
The mk5 had been out for around seven years before the rusty wings issue became widespread, seeing as the mk6 has the same sponge in the same place, you will start to see a flurry of complaints coming in the not so distant future.
Both my mk5's got it between five and six years old.
