Sump rusted through in a year. That's a worry.
I just did our ibiza and its 7 years old and I thought that was bad!
The question is, is it from the inside out or outside in.
Was it caused by the paint been damaged due to speed hump etc or just as its thin tin!

It's been fixed now. I'm afraid I forgot to ask for pics or to see the old sump, as I've really busy with other things. I haven't smacked the sump off anything, unlike my Audi which was much lower, and that took a right beating and was OK. Car just hit 10,000 miles this week. 14 1/2 months old. I'm guessing there wasn't any obvious damage otherwise they would have refused to do it as warranty work.

Hope the new one lasts more than another 14 months.
