bottom of bootlid, especially if drainage holes are blocked!, bottom of doors, the seams where the rear quarter panel meets the boot slam panel, outer sills inner sills, footwells, arches..... etc etc etc

oh and the sunroof drains are known to get blocked, rusting the roof away!(ouch!)check em and flush em out!

why is it every mk3 has a nice patch of rust that doesnt seem to form on other cars?

people say that the valencia (spanish) built ones are more likely to rust due to the quality of steel and the fact that they are stored by the spanish sea, apparently west germany is what your looking for!

Mine has a little rust around the arches and some on the drivers side door seal. There's some really bad rust patches on the inside of the boot lid, down near where it meets the lights. Plus the rail under the bonnet in front of the exhaust heat shield.
