Subject:      VAG Internal Instructions Underbody Wax and Preservation
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"; format=flowed

Especially for fans of obscure VW OEM internal factory repair literature..... here is a treat of the week!

<https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B8sxgRMrur9XdnhxLU5KTWg5eTA>https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B8sxgRMrur9XdnhxLU5KTWg5eTA

The link I just gave is the factory's "further-reading" or detailed instructions for the VW OEM instruction page emphasizing the importance of spraying wax into the rear trailing arms of Vanagon to preserve them from rusting.

The document also relates to the page that emphasizes the same thing for some of the front lower control arms. It was released in North America to Volkswagen Dealers.

I put this up just in time for you to start thinking about the coming winter and salt season.

Enjoy!

In case of difficulty with the above link.....

Try entering it as

<https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B8sxgRMrur9XdnhxLU5KTWg5eTA/edit?pli=1>https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B8sxgRMrur9XdnhxLU5KTWg5eTA/edit?pli=1

Note that this document is meant to be *appended* to the Bentley page about the wax preservation for the Vanagon rear trailing arms (and pre-mid-88 syncro front lower control arms), but it does not show the Vanagon parts explicitly on its own. Nevertheless, the Vanagon instructions reference this document.
