Depends how clean they are. If they are rusty already, covering it them with paint won't do much.

I would undo the brackets then you can move the pipes about. Clean them up, degrease and either apply spray zinc primer like Bilt Hamber Electrox (you don't have to get every speck of rust off as the zinc will neutralise corrosion as long as the metal is relatively clean). Or you could simply spray them in situ with an anti corrosion wax such as Bilt Hamber Dynax UC. This will keep water and salt off the pipes.

Cheers they were new and have been on the car 4 months and a few hundred miles so should be in good condition. I haven't checked for a few months!

When i got the car i was told that the reason why most of the 6's don't have AC is corrosion of those pipes. I don't plan on selling my car so thought treating them with Dynax sound like an idea.

But thanks for those suggestions, we've got a flue at work that's corroding (looks like the wrong bolts used or something like that) so could use some of the Bilt Hamber stuff to clean up and fix ourselves.





They're on the car now - in hindsight that would have be the choice of champions

Was it the fact that the OE brackets were some metal which reacted with the alloy AC pipes and caused them to corrode?

That's true...i'm guessing i#ll have other bits of my car to worry about than the AC Pipes

But will give them a splash of some BH product at some point. No harm. Unless i manage to spray myself in the face with it, and then that might actually be an improvement

I reckon plastidip would be good for this mate.
