The Dreaded 'R' word.....
« on: 27 September 2005, 17:30 »
:sad:

Has anyone else experienced any rust issues on a mk 4 golf?? think mine is the only Mk 4 in the world to experience some metal cancer?? mine isn't that bad, just bit of bubbling of paint work on my rear passenger side wheel arch. Any ideas how much this could be to remedy folks??

 :sad:

dont worry yours is nt the only golf in the world to rust. mine is five years old and it has a small blemish on the passenegr rear arch. I thought with a galvonised body I would have rust free motoring for a few more years yet

Just looked at my warranty for paint, and you get a 6 year warranty for rust and 3 years for any paint faults whatever they could be so if ya car is under 6 take it back! :cool:
