Ok I appreciate this could be hard to answer without pictures as I’m posting this from my phone but here goes......
My 58 plate S3 I’ve bought back in November spent its entire life in Aberdeen right on the coast and as a result has a fair bit of underside surface rust on non galvanised parts such as subframe, suspension arms, shocks etc.
It hasn’t been flagged up on any previous MOTs or the last service carried out at a main dealer but would like to know peoples experiences with this sorta thing, are S3’s/A3’s prone to this, is it likely something I should have addressed or are these parts pretty robust.
Again I know it’s hard without pics but people’s experiences,especially those that have lived on the coast, would be very much appreciated.
Cheers
