Very interesting video, Thanks for sharing Marty.
Thank you for all your support.
Interestingly the early VW T5's are getting rusty now, they are a bit older though, I think the Custom is doing pretty well considering how bad the Fords used to rust.
Yea I think thease are a little better than the older ones, thank you for supporting the channel
Hi mate, Thank you so much for doing the video. Really surprised how much they don't rust like the older ones. Hopefully have one soon. Thanks again.
Thank you for the idea and once again sorry it took so long!
No worries marty, I really appreciate you doing that for me. Have you thought about a detailing video of cleaning the van. I think you'd get a a lot of views on that too...well I'd watch it, lol .
I will keep that in mind thank you.
Very useful video Marty , truth be told I dont think Ford are one of the best manufacturers for rust protection on their vehicles but they have certainly got better. I've got a Mk3 Focus and intend on applying some Bilt Hamber protection to the underside to protect it as I hope to be keeping it for a good while.
Hello mark and thank you for your feedback, I do agree there is a lack of underseal! I plan on putting something under this van soon, thank you for watching.
Here we like to beef up the factory rust protection by coating the undercarriage with a mixture of used diesel and fisholene. The vehicle is then driven up a gravel road for 10km to get a good coating of dust that helps thicken and set up the coating. I know folks that have been doing this for 60 years.
That certainly sounds interesting, I may have to give it a trial. Thank you for your feedback.
Much better than the previous shape which I had to scrap 2 of them at 10 years old but not as good as my 2013 200k Renault trafic which is galvanised! Why don't ford do this??
Yea it is probably that they don't last,
What milage was on the van at the time of the rust video thanks
About 90k
Mk6 engine bullet broof body work shocking sort the body out then the engines aint all that. Bilt hamber got some absoutley brilliant products for rust prevention and treatments best on the market. Should be a winter service every year after a certain age.
Thank you for the info I will cheak it out, and I don't think the want them to last tbh lol
@@Martysworkshop b.h surfex hd APC best on the market aswel everything they do is unbelievable never seen a company like it for quality. UK company aswell. Yeah wouldn't be selling too many if they was built to last pal. Atb subscribed.
Cheers again for the info and thank you for you support 👍
@@Martysworkshop I agree! Reminds me of the film "The Man In The White Suit". An ever lasting product would kill off the whole industry. Very useful videos by the way, it has made me a bit less worried about swapping to Ford, seems most problems are not too tricky fix. Reading online before I got the impression everything was so advanced and computer controlled they were impossible to fix but the mechanical parts that fail seem to be the same as ever.
Do you need to remove the rust before you underseal? Or would you just underseal it in it's current condition?
Hello sash, I would wire brush the bad areas, the more you get off prior to underseal the better. Thank you for watching.
@@Martysworkshop How much would you charge to underseal a Transit Custom and where are you based?
We don't do outside work here sorry but I will try and do a video showing what's involved. Thank you for your support.
No rust on a 9-year-old Ford? The previous model could rot in 3 years like a Sprinter or Vito 😛
I saw a 20-year-old Renault Trafic at a scrap yard without a trace of rust. Vivaro are also galvanized, because they are produced in the same factory.
Very true
