paint issue

Finally got to wash the salt off today and found a little bit of rust just in front of the rear wheel. I know it’s not the end of the world but what is the best way of tackling it? Would a smart repair sort this or is it more involved? Thanks as always.

I’m currently having a big argument with Volkswagens warranty Department as I took this in to be repaired (Vw Guildford) as they said it would be covered under warranty but then they checked the depth of the paint and said it was too thick and that I must of had work done to it so it wasn’t...

Hi, Looking for some advice. I was cleaning the van and noticed that the sliding door paintwork had about 5x areas where there appears to be rust forming under the paint. These are small areas, only 5-10mm in diameter but are only going to get worse over time. As a first step, I have emailed VW...

I’ve got a new VW T6 Caravelle in black and after two washes, one through the drive through and one with a brush and jet wash, it’s covered in small scratches and a couple of big ones. At first I thought it was bad luck and there must have been grit or brake particles on the brush, but now I...

Hi all, I’ve recently noticed this on the rear wheel arch. There’s no sign of perforation and it looks like it’s bubbling up from behind. Is this likely to be covered under warranty. It’s a 16 plate. It’s just over three years, but I believe there’s a 12 year warranty?

Nice little detail Need some bigger wheels when I get back for definite

Hi Had our 2016 T6 shuttle 4 months now and just noticed the lacquer and paint flaking on the bottom of the rear quarter panel. Can anyone confirm if this is a warranty job? Assuming they come with something like a 10yr paint warranty? I’ll be contacting VW today but just wanted to ask the...

Hi there, In the T6 volksie bus range, some of the buese were painted in a heritage two tone colour i.e. red/white, blue/grey, blue/white, etc. Has anyone experienced any issues where the two colours come together i.e. where the strip may have overlapped, paint peeling, etc.

Hi all, Just wanted to get a broad range of opinions please.... So I noticed a few small paint blisters on the rear wheel arch...as the van was going in for it’s first service thought I’d give her a good clean... In the end I’d noticed enough blisters to cause real concern. Some of the blisters...

Rear Arches just above the film the pictures are hard to tell but the paint is blistered , no doubt a waste of time for a VW warranty claim and will just blame the stone chips ?
