Just popped a look behind the front arch liner to find a HUGE amount of mud, leaves and crappo! This is an expensive trip to the bodyshop waiting to happen!
Seems potentially a common problem. Couldn't find the post, but I'm sure I read someone else had removed their arch liner to find similar. Get behind yours asap and scoop out all that compost!
-
nasty what gets in there :sick:
-
I had assumed because water spilled out the drain meant it was all good. For the sake of 5 mins with a torx bit and a little poke about, daft to not get on it!
Wish I'd got a photo of it all now. All that weight reduction, It'll do my mpg good too! :grin:

That's a fair effort Rich! :laugh: I've still got the passsenger side to do when i get time. For the amount of time it takes to do, it should be must for all Mk4 owners, cus you're just asking for problems with your body work, leaving two little compost heaps to slowly rot in there!! :grin: :lipsrsealed:

Well, it was either that, or someone say 'do a search ner ner ner' if you made a new thread :laugh:

Indeed no point is starting a new thread ^^^^ :tongue:

I just did this again a few weeks back.
Surprised that only two and a half years later both sides full again!
Since doing this and being aware of the problem,
I've seen plenty of mk3s with rotten front wings at the same position
