Dinitrol Guide For Modern Transporter Types
In the last issue, The Mechanic looked at Dinitrol products and how to use it with classic transporter models. For those of you that own a modern Transporter, here is a guide for T4, T5 and T6 models.
Dinitrol is an oil based product that contains rust inhibiting ingredients to treat and stop rust after it has been applied. It also forms a barrier that prevents further corrosion occurring. Dinitrol is supplied in several di erent forms, a cavity wax for use in inner sills etc. and an under body wax that dries to a exible tough lm to withstand rain and salt.
Due to modern manufacturing techniques, the later range of Transporter is less prone to rusting, but like all Volkswagens they will eventually fall prey to the dreaded rust bug. Although treated with rust protection from new, it is recommended that this is maintained and renewed after several years of use. As with the earlier Vans, converting these into Campers creates the added problem of moisture generated by cooking etc. Again, removal of the interior and inner trim is the only way to get a comprehensive nish. Treating a newer Van will help preserve it for the future and can add to the resale value at a later date.
