Fantastic video. I now feel like I can tackle my MK4
Wow that was brilliant thanks for the video
My pleasure
Nice job!👍
I've this to do as someone decided to filler over a hole in the passenger door rather than chop out and replace 😢
Hey, I’m completely replacing a set of sills on an older Peugeot partner. I can tig weld and I’m wondering if it’s better to fusion weld the sills instead of using bare wire on MiG/mag or flux. Like structurally speaking fusion welding the sills should be completely fine right ?
Yes, if you can do TIG welding then it actually only has advantages. Mig is just a lot easier, especially for laypeople
Do you have the part number for the end caps? I cant seemt to find it and can only find the entire rocker panel from a 3rd party website which is much more expensive.
1k6 810 415
It's in the description.
Google it, and you will find shops and links to buy it
@@i-car-us Thank you. I guess this part is for a mk5, but I can not find the same part for the mk4
@Robert Galvin ye, viewers on my German channel had the same problem. Unfortunately, there isn't a similar part available for the mk4
@@ScratchingiCARus Makes sense. Very helpful either way. I think with the mk4 I can purchase an entire rocker panel, but im not sure if it comes with the end cap piece.
VW's are DESIGNED to rot at those points. First thing I did when I got mine was strip ALL the paint off those corners, paint with "Zinga" cold galv paint, then a coat of Epoxy primer, and finally a coat of "Epoxy 121" which sets so hard, you can't even get it off with an angle grinder and a wire brush. Lifting the front wing slightly, I slide a small square of thin PTFE shim to allow the body to flex without rubbing through the paint. 8 years later, NO RUST!
Vw rust the least compared to others also don't they offer 10 year rust warranty .
What is to stop the cut edges of the original metal from rusting further underneath the welded in plate? Also why overlap the new piece instead of butt welding it for less filler? Nice video..
The reason for lap welding is that it is much easier. A layman will not be able to cut and weld bluntly. The tutorial does not show installing a new side panel on a new car. If that were the case, your arguments would hold.
And why should it continue to rust at the cut edges? After painting and cavity protection, the welded part easily survives the car
Is this a mot failure
I have questioned so many times, about why the designer was thinking this where a smart solution. To make it this way, you want it to rust from the inside out. Not very smart if you ask me, but anyway its a great video.
Thank you, sir👍
