Not to belabor the point but it's not the engines you want to look at - it's cars that were treated with the old oil.
It is extremely common for the underside of early VW Transporters (T4’s and prior), Transits and Bongos to require a high level of maintenance due to relatively poor factory finishes during the 1990’s to early 2000’s. Just a question on protecting the wheel arches of my mini. I am in the process of priming my mini with celly, the car is a completely bare shell. Anyway, i plan to do the sills, inside the rear arches, and under the front wings. What is the best thing I can use to protect these areas? I quite like the idea of a smooth stonechip, as this might be easlier to keep clean if the car is to be concours. Access to the sills and other enclosed areas can usually be gained by carefully removing a blanking plate or grommet. It there are wheel arch liners or other bits of trim, it is worth dropping them down to access the metal behind. When underneath the car, make sure you spray from different directions to ensure even coverage.It’s also a good idea to treat the inside of box sections such as chassis rails and sills. A different type of chemical is used for this, or other underseal products can be made thinner with white spirit to make them easier to spray or inject into these inaccessible places. How to apply underseal Once your car is treated, you can relax knowing you have protection. Remember to keep an eye on it though, and expect to keep the treatment topped up every few years to make sure the rust stays at bay. Certain car brands have gained a reputation for rust, and they’re not necessarily the ones you’d expect. Pressure to cut production costs can mean car makers skimped on the corrosion protection on the cars when they were built, leading to problems later on.
Professionals will use specialized tools to facilitate the rust-proofing process and will usually have access to a hydraulic lift to raise the vehicle. This will also usually use a compressor with spray gun to apply the product.Rust treatment follows. Here, the goal is to neutralize and prevent the rust from spreading. Rust converters will come in handy here because it serves as a primer sealant. ( View rust converters) What then is undersealing? The best underseal is a tough paint formulated to offer protection to the bottom of the car or van, inside the wheel arches and other parts that are not normally seen but are exposed to salty road conditions. In fact, look in any scrapyard and you will see a surprising number of relatively modern vehicles which have succumbed to the MoT tester’s screwdriver. Behind the plastic bumpers and trim, many cars on the road today can be slowly dissolving away. But what can you, as the owner, actually do about the problem of rust? One of the few effective courses of action is to look at car underseal or other rust-proofing measures and below you’ll find our top tips on the different preventative rust treatments available.
Schutz underseal is one of the top-rated products for undersealing tasks. It is famed for providing high impact protective coating to the van’s underbody. I've been playing with my new underseal/waxoyl injection gun from Machine Mart,and found it to be excellent for spraying cans of underseal onto the underside of my old Land Rover.
However,when I tried to use it to spray the inside of my chassis with old engine oil I found it to be a bit of a disappointment,in that not much oil finds its way out of the end of the nozzle on the end of the bendy plastic pipe.
