Great news ....wish he could look at my issues as well .....seems a long drive away....I couldn't cope getting my van painted would never be happy ! Also like you say all great getting it done but without your van setup you are lost day to day on jobs .........book a holiday and book your van in ?!

Not even worth stripping, zinc plating and repowdercoating?

After bouncing e.mails back and forth, with several pictures to PVWI, they are 100% sure that the blisters are caused by what's known as 'zinc inclusion' A quick Google of this term brings up dozens of examples across all manufactures. The inspector is amazed that just from the pictures alone...

Hi @MDS, thanks for all the info. That's new news to me. Well, when I checked the roof came into my mind that they had done the painting outdoors o_O. Google gives astonishing results by "zinc inclusion vw" :eek:. Obviously I need to have yet another, more careful look over the van :(

...ordered on the 9th arrived on the 18th not too bad for next day i guess. Well it gets worse, some plastic parts (tightening knobs) are broken, zinc passivized parts drilled after coating (so will rust very quickly) instruction diagrams so poorly printed as to be unreadable. Some riv nuts are...

perfect . . . re spin on the numbers . . Consumption: 0.64 Ah/h at +20°C ambient temperature, 1.01 Ah/h at +32°C ambient temperature **** So back to the top question, Rough guess would be: 1x compressor fridge * (1-0.5ah draw) ( average - [email protected] + 6hrs@1ah = 24hrs@24ah total ) 1x...

It's a bit of a pain, use a small grinder and a drill and you should get it out in an hour cleanly. Remember to use a good zinc primer and a sealing coat afterwards

So, digging a little deeper, the spacer settings I like as a reference is on this thread. 15mm front, 25mm rear on 17" Devonports. There's a nice amount of hooding on the wheels, less chance of kerbing and clipping, but more visible than stock. But if I Calculate/Compare Wheel Offset and...

I've just done that.....shocking! I also noticed that a few websites mentioned on the internet that refer to vw corrosion, have disappeared! I'll bet vw have pressured/threatened people to pull these sites down? It is indeed widespread across VAG products.....absolutely shameful! If I get no...

...problem, and has seen it on various different vehicles of different makes. He states a stone chip would not cause it and its known in trade as ‘zinc incrosion’ . Caused by a reaction between the zinc galvanise and the steel panels and thus causes oxcidisation to start and bubble the paint...

I was informed, initially by my dealer after the first rejection, and then by VW customer care, that without the official inspection by PVWI at the owners cost, it's always a rejected claim. Like I mentioned earlier, my dealer wants this fixed and agrees it's a warranty issue, but unless the...

...used (where necessary) to prevent spring dislocation when car is jacked up. § Built in Elastomer bump stops for durability. § Dual locking rings (most applications) anodised for weather protection. § Zinc Plated Anti-Corrosion Coilover Bodies. § Shortened drop links supplied where needed

I had screw blocks holding ply on mine too, I primed with zinc rich primer, filled then bought some aerosols to touch up. Turned up very well, I cant tell where they where now. If you want to just cover them with curtain rails the vanx ones are quite wide, in my mind too wide for the rear...

...punched the locations to drill, staring with a pilot hole before using a 5mm drill bit. I cleaned as much swarf out as I could, and applied some zinc anti-rust paint to the holes. Once that was dry, I applied some sealing adhesive stuff (that I had lying around) before riveting the hinge...

...had the PVWI inspection, but still the claim was rejected!! The guy from PVWI was very knowledgable and absolutely 100% sure it was caused by zinc inclusions, but I have to say his report wasn’t as conclusive as his face to face conversations with me! He may be impartial, but he sits on the...

...the carpet. If you have a used van with ply lining I would suggest treating any holes that have been drilled for screws to be installed with zinc or red oxide paint and filling any holes in the floor with a little bit of polymer adhesive or similar to avoid future rust problems. You will...

Hi, any chance you could let me know the exact Osmo oil you used please ? Quite a few options and different sheens.

Just what I’ve been waiting for.

We have the same interior less the extra drawer. We also went for the Sequoia table plus I recently added a Lagun swivel table also. If you’re keeping the double front seat I recommend fitting the folding hinge at some point. I fitted a board inside the back of the seat so you can sit or stand...
