Galvanised Body

Good protection against corrosion raises the resale value of a car. The prerequisite for this is a flawless multi-layer paint system. Furthermore, in addition to the use of fully galvanised sheet steel, Volkswagen vehicle bodies also are subjected to solid wax flooding in body cavity areas which are at risk of being exposed to moisture. However, for technical reasons, it is not possible to fully galvanise ultra-high-strength steel. Volkswagen offers a 12-year warranty against rust perforation for all models.
