Scotty86's Mk7

[Luke]

Well get it on the list of things to do

yes boss

no good on a list actually do it

[Luke]

If you intend on keeping your van longer than 5 years this will need to be done otherwise rust will creep in.
Transit Geoff says in order to prevent rust in the front wheel arches (first place to rust on transits) you need
to drill a hole from the part that is covered by the door and spray wax oil into the hollow part of the wheel arch and
then use a grommet to seal the hole.

sounds like good advice

[Scotty86]

LostPaul knows all about this type of rust.

He sure does and he still hasn't taken it in

[Scotty86]

Can't remember mate, try a search I'm sure I posted something about it ages ago
