Good effort! I have been meaning to do this to my van since I bought it about eight years ago. I can just never muster the desire to crawl underneath but I really should. It is great you have a pit to work from.
I’t’s well worth doing and should have started years ago but as I personally never went under I didn’t realise how bad she was until I had a new steel floor fitted in 2019 at great cost 😬 so I’m keeping up with the TLC to make it easier for myself. Being tiny and my dad’s pit was just a blessing, can’t imagine being on my back the whole time and under a coupon of jacks 😰. Maybe do sections at a time or find a pit you can use as it will probably more than half your time. I’d like to keep my baby for a long time so got to be done annually now I think 🚎💜
@@annagriffiths717 Is it that helpful !? To remove rust from our cars !?? DO people do this in general !!?

@@annagriffiths717 Oh ~!! Lol.That's a commitment !!! 👏 👏👏 Does your car have any other issues ? Mine started getting troubles often with the indicators ,electrical things !! And also batteries ,I had replaced the main battery for the 1st time & again right after that as it was irregular !! 😅
@LordFlashheart1 yes the baby is still with me. Lots of welding done since this video (underneath) changed back arm suspensions etc etc but keeping her on the road as long as I can 🥰🚎🤞🏻
I just spent a day doing the underside of my t5 caravelle. It's a hard graft eh? All my core muscles were sore for days. Even my neck muscles! 🤣 What a workout! Good job! I will say though, i have yet to use a product that actually stops rust. When i used waxoyl the rust just came back and lifted it off. Then i sand blasted a part of it down to bare metal and retreated it. Still came back. At this stage i think if i removed parts and hot dipped them in zinc, the zinc would just oxidise off and it would be rusty again! 🤣🤣 Also, i found that the plastic underbody covers on the t5 caravelle/transporter actually trapped mud and it caused a lot of the corrosion i had to deal with. So i removed them and drilled out the drain holes and added a few more. On the undertrays mind, not the vans body. 😁 So i'll see how it goes this time next year.
Oh gosh well done, yes it is a workout but my dad’s pit and being very small was an advantage. I agree with it not being a total rust proof method but I just think it will slow down the corrosion like a bandage 🩹 (this is the hope) I need to get under her again t make another video and see how she has held up 😬 definitely need to use power tools next time. My welders also drilled drainage holes in the metal, not much plastic on my old babe haha
Waw you really have a keeper then if your old baby is good underneath - wish I had started sooner on her but doing what I can to keep her in as good condition as possible. I didn’t think she was that bad, I’m no expert though and not been under many 🙈😬 thanks for watching.
@@annagriffiths717 well you never know before you start digging, and in DK we salt our roads in winter. I had a few serious patches of rust but no general surface rust like yours, mine have had a lot of coating put on and it is alright. But take care with the under rubber coating from factory, a puncture will make it rust from inside out running under the rubber glue. Dig all that out rip it off and reseal use a Poly Strip Wheels Paint Rust Removal Angle Grinder Discs. And take care of the rear spring mounts along shockhabsorber mounts, water gets behind and is a structural area and is hard to get to with rust sealer. Also rear wheel arch front round bend corner just above the framerail. you can see most of serious rust from inside if you strip down the inside to a bare floor. I love this car - and as a 10person "bus" it only cost 200pund in road tax, a normal 9 person or californis cost 2500pound a year in road tax. also i run my 2.4d on used frying oil at around 40pence a liter. I run my T4 much cheaper than my friend run his shitty Vw UP :) T4 will last for ever if you just keep the rust down!
Good job. I use used engine oil for "undercoating" on my T4. However, this woolwax will definitely last longer and it will look better. Both will make your van just happy :-)
Well done, worth the effort and time, it’s all got to help. The old babes deserve some tlc 🚎 Was very lucky to have a use of a pit, stick at it & good luck.
Am in the process of cleaning my van to treat ! Was giing to use waxoyl but have opted for lanoguard, once prepared it sprays on and takes about 20 min ! Much easier and quicker than the brush 👌

Ah ok, I didn’t thin it as I painted it on, I think people who spray it on use a thinner as only want a small layer and go over it a few times but I prefer to paint as I can get into corners and make sure it sticks. (I’m no expert though) 🤷🏼♀️ I’m very lucky my dad has a pit and I’m petite so wasn’t bending a lot 🤣
Thanks for watching and commenting. The Waxoyl is by Hammerite and is called rustproof for cars, I’m no expert though but I know my welders paint it with a red oxide paint & then a blue paint and put a few layers when a new piece of metal added on. This is just to help protect as my baby getting old and want to keep her.

Hi great video wish I had a pit lol how long did it take for you to remove the rust etc and how long did it take to brush ,Did you use two coats or one an again how long did it take Have you been through the mot yet have they commented on the waxoyl Some one said it's once remove the rust the best you can then add the rust prevention and then waxoyl I thought what you done was right and for first time impressed One of those jobs to do none my bucket list lol Kind regards
Thanks for watching and commenting, I did the best I could by hand but need to get underneath her again this year when wether improves to see how she has held up. I would personally use hand tools next time to get deeper into the rust. She passed MOT fine in December , one weld spot on the step and rear which I knew about but she is 24 years old so to be expected. Rubbing down was half a days work maybe 6 hrs but the painting was easy with a brush and only took me 2hrs but wasn’t rushing and as it is very thick just 1 coat. She had been done by my welders about 5k years ago so only scraped back what peeled off. I’m a complete novice so this is NOT a how to video, just how I have approached it. A pit certainly helps and I’m very small 😆 good luck, worth doing
I guess timescale will be dependent on amount of work your van needs. Mine was ok in my eyes as had a brand new Floor a few years back but she is a good age so rust is to be expected, you can always do a bit at a time but a good dry wknd should cover a lot and if you use hand tools (electrical) I reckon I’ll be quicker

@@vwtransportersandmotorcycl3729 awesome well done 👏 stick at it, well worth doing. I need to get under again and use power tools to rub down next time for a deeper clean 😬
Even the new transporters have this issue they really cheaped out on the steel german car manufacturing has done for yeaaars fiat for example learned the hard way with the beta you will find less problem rust under a 10 year old fiat than you will with a 3 year old german vehicle the grade of steel is shocking
This is why we need to treat regularly to keep on the road and welders in business 😂 to be fair any other vehicle gets scrapped if too much work but at leas the VW vans hold their money. Not many old fords and fiat vans on the road. I understand what your saying though 👍🏻
Mine wasn’t that bad with being on the pit and not directly stood under often but I should have worn a mask - wearing one all day for work 🤦🏼♀️ so should have put on automatically 🤦🏼♀️
Thanks, I just thought every little helps. Been a couple years now so probably due getting back under there for another rub down 🙈 MOT next month again so will see if any “new welding” required 🤞🏻😬
@annagriffiths717 Best of luck for the MOT. Mine is due next month too. Windscreen has started leaking so that will be coming out in the spring. I'm sure that will reveal a rusty surprise haha. Still love the van, it just needs a bit more love the older it gets.
@T4TipsGuides also looking into getting my front window out to treat the booboos next year after MOT. Had it looked at, no replacement needed just a rub back & respray so 🤞🏻 lucky the babies 🚎 are worth it 🤗

The stupidest thing I've seen! Not only did she coat the rust, but also painted the chassis of the car! Do not show this to normal people, as the car will not drive longer, but will only rot faster!
What?? This is what this paint is for? It’s Kurust wax oil?? The chassis is metal so any protection is better than letting the elements eat at it. I had this professionally done back in 2019 by welders and they did the same. Unsure what you are on about 🤷🏼♀️ this isn’t a rust cure it’s to prevent further corrosion and protect the rusty metal from external salt, stones and debris on roads. This will be looked at and done every year to keep on top of it 👍🏻 hope this gives you clarity. I’m not an expert just trying to keep my baby on the road for as long as I can 🚎💜

Ah ok, I didn’t thin it as I painted it on, I think people who spray it on use a thinner as only want a small layer and go over it a few times but I prefer to paint as I can get into corners and make sure it sticks. (I’m no expert though) 🤷🏼♀️ I’m very lucky my dad has a pit and I’m petite so wasn’t bending a lot 🤣
Great job! Is this the same as Hammerite underbody seal with Waxoyl?
Thanks for watching and commenting. The Waxoyl is by Hammerite and is called rustproof for cars, I’m no expert though but I know my welders paint it with a red oxide paint & then a blue paint and put a few layers when a new piece of metal added on. This is just to help protect as my baby getting old and want to keep her.
@@annagriffiths717 Thanks for your reply and help👍

Haha thanks, I’ll do anything to preserve my baby 🚎 probably needs looking at again now 😬 will use power tools next time too and a 😷, Anna
Hi great video wish I had a pit lol how long did it take for you to remove the rust etc and how long did it take to brush ,Did you use two coats or one an again how long did it take
Have you been through the mot yet have they commented on the waxoyl
Some one said it's once remove the rust the best you can then add the rust prevention and then waxoyl I thought what you done was right and for first time impressed
One of those jobs to do none my bucket list lol
Kind regards
Thanks for watching and commenting, I did the best I could by hand but need to get underneath her again this year when wether improves to see how she has held up. I would personally use hand tools next time to get deeper into the rust. She passed MOT fine in December , one weld spot on the step and rear which I knew about but she is 24 years old so to be expected. Rubbing down was half a days work maybe 6 hrs but the painting was easy with a brush and only took me 2hrs but wasn’t rushing and as it is very thick just 1 coat. She had been done by my welders about 5k years ago so only scraped back what peeled off. I’m a complete novice so this is NOT a how to video, just how I have approached it. A pit certainly helps and I’m very small 😆 good luck, worth doing
Much appreciated for the timescale main thing it passed the mot
Just looking at my options thanks for the reply
Have a great day
I guess timescale will be dependent on amount of work your van needs. Mine was ok in my eyes as had a brand new Floor a few years back but she is a good age so rust is to be expected, you can always do a bit at a time but a good dry wknd should cover a lot and if you use hand tools (electrical) I reckon I’ll be quicker
Good job now do mine .
Hehe thanks for watching, just a novice but it has to help and good to keep on top of things 😊🚎

Muito bom parabéns pelo seu trabalho. Tenho uma VW Caravelle 2.4 Diesel com 70.000 Km originais de fábrica Alemanha. É tudo original, as pastilhas dos freios ainda são as originais de fábrica Alemanha. A VW Caravelle é uma verdadeira máquina e nunca dá problemas. Me fala seu e-mail que vou enviar umas fotos para você. Parabéns pelo seu trabalho de conservação na T4. Abraço Mauro cidade de São Paulo, SP, Brasil.
Uau, apenas 70 km de novo - muita sorte. Obrigado por assistir meu vídeo, desculpe, eu não revelo meus dados pessoais, talvez faça uma montagem de vídeo no TH-cam? Feliz camping VWs são os melhores 💕
@@annagriffiths717 OK
Whoah Spanish ! You speak Spanish !?? Or translator ...translated.? Nice ,either way ! 💜💜
WOW 👏😮👏😮👏😮You're multi talented !!
I can't do this myself !! Lol. Did you learn this from your dad !??
I am an excellent driver ,but I got almost no clue when it comes to the mechanisms & engineering of cars !!! Shame on me ! I love reading the manuals ,does it count !!? LOLLOLLOL. 😅😆😁😄🚗🛻🚙🚚💜💜💜💜🥁🎵🐉🎤🎶💞
Yes my dad is a mechanic so he teaches me to look after the old girl 🚎 she is 24 so will be rusty so just do what I can by hand. No expert but want to keep her and still learning
@@annagriffiths717 Excellent !! 👍👍👏👏👏And I love that your dad is close with you & you spend times together & learn from your dad ! When I was helping my dad's clinic ,I could see my dad was proud of me & very happy to have me there ! I miss my dad ! He sadly passed away in '01 !
I also wondered that being under your car for awhile & scraping stuffs like that might hurt your neck & back !?
Thank you so much for your replies ! I forgot to mention earlier ,but I am your newest? subscriber now !!! Lol.😀😁😄👍👍💜💜💜💜🥁🎵🐉🎤🎶💕💞

As beautiful as you are, Please wear a mask next time. Greetings form Cardiff XX
Ah thanks David 😊 💯 % should have worn a mask 😷 ironically wear one all day for work unless outdoors and alone so completely did not thing 🤦🏼♀️thanks for watching, Anna
Such a messy job isn’t it!
Yeah it’s not the best but worth it to try preserve the babies 💕🚎 need to get under her again soon see how it’s all held up 😬🙈🤞🏻
@@annagriffiths717 started mine last week, need to finish it 🥴
@@vwtransportersandmotorcycl3729 awesome well done 👏 stick at it, well worth doing. I need to get under again and use power tools to rub down next time for a deeper clean 😬
Even the new transporters have this issue they really cheaped out on the steel german car manufacturing has done for yeaaars fiat for example learned the hard way with the beta you will find less problem rust under a 10 year old fiat than you will with a 3 year old german vehicle the grade of steel is shocking
Thats why when you search spray wax all you get is VW, BMW ,Mercedes crap steel
This is why we need to treat regularly to keep on the road and welders in business 😂 to be fair any other vehicle gets scrapped if too much work but at leas the VW vans hold their money. Not many old fords and fiat vans on the road. I understand what your saying though 👍🏻
Всё, тэч к продаже готов. У нас тоже так готовят.
Google translate not good for your message ...
That's it, the tech is ready for sale. We also cook like that??
Please wear a mask next time, rust dust is not good for the lungs.
Mine wasn’t that bad with being on the pit and not directly stood under often but I should have worn a mask - wearing one all day for work 🤦🏼♀️ so should have put on automatically 🤦🏼♀️
@@annagriffiths717 Yes !! Lol.💜💜💜
Não é 70 Kms e sim 70.000 Kms originais de fábrica Alemanha.
desculpe, eu quis dizer 70.000 km que é surpreendente, você tem o que todo mundo sonha lá - inédito. aproveite 😊
👍👍👍👍

Thanks for watching, no idea what you have said 🤣
Система выхлопа НОВАЯ....
Система выхлопа 2019 & 2020 👍🏻
That is a not a nice job to do. Well done for getting stuck in.
Thanks, I just thought every little helps. Been a couple years now so probably due getting back under there for another rub down 🙈 MOT next month again so will see if any “new welding” required 🤞🏻😬
@annagriffiths717 Best of luck for the MOT. Mine is due next month too. Windscreen has started leaking so that will be coming out in the spring. I'm sure that will reveal a rusty surprise haha. Still love the van, it just needs a bit more love the older it gets.
@T4TipsGuides also looking into getting my front window out to treat the booboos next year after MOT. Had it looked at, no replacement needed just a rub back & respray so 🤞🏻 lucky the babies 🚎 are worth it 🤗
@annagriffiths717
They are, indeed. I've owned my T4 for over 17 years. I would never sell. We've been through so much together.
@T4TipsGuides fantastic 🤗💜🚎 I’ve had mine for 15 years too. Definitely a keeper as at the point of no return and definitely more expensive to replace than keep fixing
Ты мне нужна.

@@annagriffiths717 топливный под ним не обработала
топливо не переработанное - извините, трансляция не самая лучшая, БКТ имеет для меня много смысла
Большая работа по созданию топливного бака в темноте - просто пытаюсь защитить металл от элементов, отлично, если вы это сделали - очень тщательно, но я любитель, учусь и делаю все, что могу, вручную. спасибо за просмотр, анна
Damn, just started watching as I have (at 73) developed an interest in under vehicle rust and ways to avoid it but I must comment,
I CAN'T BELEIVE YOU ARE BREATING THIS SHIT!
At least use a mask! You are way too young to be inhaling no telling what in this dust.
Sorry for the fatherly spanking, just hurts to watch. //ji
Yes thanks for the advice, a lot have commented I will be wearing a mask 😷 next time for sure 👍🏻 I didn’t have one to hand and with covid I couldn’t use my dads so carried on regardless 🙈 luckily it was well ventilated under the pit as outside but I 💯 %see your point. Thanks for watching and commenting. Anna
@@annagriffiths717 Anna, thank you. This means that you can accept some extremely well intentioned criticism, let it roll off your back, use it and not be offended or let it bother you.
That is great and speaks very very well of you. It means whatever you do in life, you will be succesful. I love it. I would not have been able to do this when I was your age. I was a smart ass who was way too cool to listen and appreciate. Best to you.
Now I will have to subscribe and watch you each session. //ji //John in Oregon
The stupidest thing I've seen! Not only did she coat the rust, but also painted the chassis of the car! Do not show this to normal people, as the car will not drive longer, but will only rot faster!
What?? This is what this paint is for? It’s Kurust wax oil?? The chassis is metal so any protection is better than letting the elements eat at it. I had this professionally done back in 2019 by welders and they did the same. Unsure what you are on about 🤷🏼♀️ this isn’t a rust cure it’s to prevent further corrosion and protect the rusty metal from external salt, stones and debris on roads. This will be looked at and done every year to keep on top of it 👍🏻 hope this gives you clarity. I’m not an expert just trying to keep my baby on the road for as long as I can 🚎💜
