If the engine compartment is cleaned at
any time with grease removing solutions
or if one has the engine washed, the anti-
corrosion compound is nearly always
removed as well. It is therefore essential
to ask for durable preservation of all sur-
faces, seams, joints and components in
the engine compartment to be carried
out. This applies also when corrosion pro-
tected parts are renewed.

Undercoating
The underside of the vehicle is coated
with a special compound to protect it from
corrosion and damage.
However, as this protective layer can
always become damaged when the vehi-
cle is in use, the protective coating on the
underside of the body and on the running
gear should be examined at defined inter-
vals –preferably before and after the win-
ter season– and any damage repaired.
