...VW isn't a premium brand. Not of the same order of magnitude but they never sorted the leaky windows.......they did their best to wriggle out of zinc inclusion, the EU6 emissions systems are dubious and they persevered with inadequate/dangerous H4 headlamps. I really hope you get this sorted...

...did the job or has started rusting through. If I remember correctly, I used some rust treatment (the type that turns rust black) then some zinc primer and a standard VW touch-up kit. I may have first rubbed it down slightly with a glass-fibre pencil? Anyway, I moved on to OEM style front...

Very well said @mopardave ;)

Many of the VW fixings have a geomet coating on them which is corrosion resistant and takes paint well. If you cannot get these I’d go for zinc plated and a squirt of waxoil (dinitrol, bilt hamber wax) once they’re in.

In theory galvanising (zinc coating) should still prevent the steel from rusting, even if the layer of zinc becomes scratched, by sacrificial protection as zinc is more reactive than iron. I fact on ships they bolt sacrificial anodes of zinc (or aluminium) onto the hull. These are replaced after...

Thanks for that. I’ll try!

...off, with lots of cussing and swearing. I’m not going to be fitting any more. The only bits to survive unscathed are the stainless clips, and zinc plated bits, for obvious reasons. If you are going to fit some, use plenty of protective grease or rust preventer as you go, inside the ends of...

Thanks for that @Howzat I’ll buy a tin for when I do my annoying rust spots on my silver van.

...have thought this would be to much. Just need to finish tyding up the brakes now. Bought a foliatec kit in stratos silver. Will use wruth galv zinc on the brake discs. Hopefully will be able to make some more progress on sunday, once I get home from fishing. Out of interest, I saved the...

...the scratch, but for stone chips I use a dremmel to remove as much as the rust without making the damaged area larger then I use: NO NONSENSE ZINC GALVANISING SPRAY Just shake up then spray some into a old lid (jam jar, whatever...) then use an artists fine tipped brush to touch up. Layer up...

Yes, I have. Mining has some very unpleasant human rights records, and we have to consider the scale. 130,000 tonnes of Lithium (2022 data) vs 2.6 billion tonnes of iron ore for steel, and 4.4 billion tonnes of oil. Good look with avoiding Chinese components - you will need to discard your...

I doubt expensive ones more resilient these days as they are all steel Powder coated. We used to make side bars out of stainless pipe, brackets etc. but 'we can buy for £200 less' is what we heard. Well this is what you get for cheap...

...due to a manufacturing fault. I sent the report back to VW, who have again stated that it won't be covered under warranty, despite it being a zinc inclusion, which they admit. I was offered a paltry £200 as a goodwill gesture! To say that I'm pretty annoyed at VW's slopey shoulders and...

...up off the ramp in a bucket after 15 years or less. The last custom and transit have a 7 year corrosion guarantee so hopefully the newer will be zinc dipped too. Plus the overall body shape will be the same unless the change the outer shell but that's more expense . Its most likely front...

...VW mechanic may know the answer to my question. I just got all new VW original discs to fit to my T6.1 but they have come with what looks a Matt zinc finish over the faces along with the labels rather than shiny faces, so my question is does this have to be removed prior to fitting and if so...
