Question for Sunday: Do your B6 passats rust?
Sometimes I have the impression that the VW Passat B6 and Rust are a couple almost as selected as Renault Laguna and Tapestand or BMW E46 and night accident.
Volkswagen Passat B6 still looks great, although he debuted 16 years ago.It was supposed to be better in every respect than B5, but in Volkswagen it was forgotten that the ideal could not be improved.A car was created, which, of course, was very pleasant to drive, but quite emergency.Diesel and diesel 2.0 tdi, and gasoline 1.8 and 2.0 TSI.When the manufacturer made a B6 facelift, he changed the designation to B7 to emphasize that that, the average car is the past and this new one is much better - so it was actually.
VW Passat B6 and Rust
Over time, the B6 faults managed to be approved, the mechanics learned to deal with them and these cars, despite some disability, were able to cover and half a million kilometers.For several years, however, I see a different problem, which is corrosion.It started with efflorescence on the tailgate, usually in its corners, but it didn't surprise me.Most station wagon cars have a problem with the tailgate, where water dries.Some manufacturers, like Volvo, make it plastic to avoid this ailment.In Passat B6, however, the tailgate is happily corrode.
For some time, however, I see Passats B6 with rust devouring literally everything.Hole fenders - of course.Door sheathing all in rust bubbles - sure.I haven't seen the rusty engine mask yet and I even started to suspect that it was aluminum, but from my short investigation (I asked the tinner), it follows that not.
Is Passat B6 a Volkswagen eye?
Even 20-25 years ago, rust on a 15-year-old car would not be strange.After all, cheap automotive products from the 90s.they were able to rust after 5-7 years.Now, however, seeing the car from 2005-2007 with advanced body corrosion I am a bit surprised.After all, we are not talking here about Dacia Logan (which actually rusts, but no one is surprised), but about the passage, who for years was the king of the Polish used car market.Do your B6 passats actually rust?
