#1: Rust hole in bulkhead Author: macca1411, Location: Westhoughton, LancashirePosted: Wed Feb 19, 2014 10:23 am ---- Anyone else experienced a rust hole in the bulkhead below the pollen filter.
Time to get the grinder and welder out before the MOT in April I think.

#3: Re: Rust hole in bulkhead Author: Edward, Location: In the garagePosted: Wed Feb 19, 2014 2:03 pm ---- Seen it on the other side of a 206. That seam does seem to be a problem though.

Mine was both believe or not! It was incredibly bad on the passenger side, about 10 to 15cm strip had to be welded in

Drivers appears fine but the passenger side below and behind the strut there is an orange tinge going on where the two panels are moulded together. Only appears to be surface though
Why does this happen and how can it be prevented, if anything?

Water gets in through the vent I suppose.

#9: Re: Rust hole in bulkhead Author: Andrew, Location: Black Country Ay IPosted: Thu Feb 20, 2014 1:58 pm ---- Sorry for the bad picture as it is night time
There's a bit of a surface thing going on I'm not sure of it's surface stuff or some kind of sealant they mght have used. My engine bay is not colour painted like Ryton made 206s
Doesn't look like there would be rust through to the other side of the metal. I'll get some stone chip though
