Fully-Galvanised Body - Volkswagen Passat ‘97 User Manual

Fully-galvanised Body

For the first time, the Passat has a fully galva-
nised body which comes with an 11-year anti-
corrosion perforation warranty.
The drawing below shows you the parts which
are hot-dip galvanised and those which are
electrolytically galvanised.
Electrolytically galvanised
Hot-dip galvanised
Surface patterns, which are also visible after
painting, emerge during the hot-dip
galvanisation process.
That is why the outer skin of the body is
electrolytically galvanised to produce a
smooth finish.
