rust repair
« on: April 07, 2013, 09:32:40 pm »
Hi.

I've got a spot of rust on the in side of my door sill, i'd say its nearly 10millimeters wide i did brush some touch up paint over the rust spot which you can see the black on the rust but i realised this wasn't the best thing to do.
 
What i want to know is this covered under the VW rust warrenty Ive had a flick though the rust warrenty thread but would the best thing to do to go staight the VW?

Thanks.

Not the best pick i know and a little dusty

Since you have tried to fix it previously any claim would be immediately void.
I doubt it would be covered, your best bet would be to repair it properly either yourself or have a bodyshop do it. It wouldn't cost much I imagine due to it's location.

I wouldn't say a brush of paint over it would be fixing it maybe just hide it  :signLOL:

I probably won't go to VW then I'll just pay and get it sorted myself don't really need that was hoping for a cheeky remap.

I may just keep it clean for now and remap it  :driver: :grin:

That could really do with sorting before it gets worse due to its location I cant imagine it breaking the bank.
