At Kinmel Campers, we recently carried out a comprehensive rub down and full underseal on a customer’s VW T6, alongside a complete engine service. This project reflects our ongoing commitment to protecting your vehicle from corrosion while ensuring it performs smoothly on every journey.
However, this was not just a simple service job — it was a detailed process involving several hours of inspection, cleaning, preparation, and careful protection. Every van tells its own story, and this VW T6 was no exception.
Thorough Preparation and Rust Protection
Before applying any underseal, we always begin with a full underside inspection. We check for surface rust, corrosion, loose bolts, and damage that could affect performance or long-term protection.
Once the inspection is complete, we start the rub down process. This involves removing existing debris, rust, and flaking coatings from the van’s underbody. It’s not glamorous work, but it’s crucial — especially for vehicles driven regularly on British roads where moisture, salt, and dirt can accelerate corrosion.
After cleaning, we apply a professional rust treatment to exposed areas. This step helps prevent future corrosion and ensures the underseal adheres properly. Then, we apply a high-quality protective underseal coating, creating a tough barrier that resists moisture and stone chips.
This part of the VW T6 Service and Underseal process takes time, precision, and experience. We use professional-grade materials that protect your van for years, not months.
Free Repair During the Job
While we were working on this VW T6, we noticed a seized slider bolt in the caliper carrier. It caused excessive binding on one of the brakes — a common issue that can lead to uneven wear and reduced braking efficiency.
Instead of ignoring it or adding to the customer’s bill, we fixed it free of charge. We removed the bolt, gave it a thorough clean, greased it, and reassembled the system properly. It’s a small job, but it shows how we operate — with transparency, integrity, and care for every vehicle that enters our workshop.
At Kinmel Campers, we believe that real reliability means doing what’s right, not just what’s on the invoice.
Full Engine Service for Long-Term Performance
In addition to the underseal and rust protection, this VW T6 also received a complete engine service. We replaced the engine oil, oil filter, fuel filter, and air filter, as well as carried out a full inspection of belts, fluids, and other key components.
Regular servicing keeps your van running smoothly, improves fuel efficiency, and prevents expensive issues down the road. Our goal is to give every customer confidence in their vehicle, whether they’re heading across the UK or setting off on a long European road trip.
The VW T6 Service and Underseal combination is one of the best ways to extend your camper’s lifespan — protecting both the body and the engine in one visit.
Why Undersealing Matters for Campervans
Many campervan owners underestimate how important undersealing is. Even a van that looks perfect on the outside can be quietly suffering underneath. Moisture and salt from the roads slowly eat away at the metal, especially around the chassis and wheel arches.
By choosing a professional VW T6 Service and Underseal, you’re making a smart investment in your van’s future. The benefits include:
- Rust prevention: Stops corrosion before it starts.
- Quieter ride: The underseal dampens road noise.
- Resale value: A properly protected van is worth more.
- Peace of mind: You’ll know your vehicle is safe from hidden damage.
At Kinmel Campers, we treat every underseal job like it’s our own vehicle — because we know how much your camper means to you.
The Kinmel Campers Approach: Honesty and Craftsmanship
We believe in real reliability, not just marketing slogans. That means being honest when something isn’t perfect and showing how we fix it.
This VW T6 gave us a challenge with that seized bolt, but instead of covering it up, we addressed it head-on and shared the process. That’s how trust is built — through transparency and action, not just words.
We don’t claim that every van leaves the workshop in flawless condition the first time. What we do promise is that we’ll always put it right, no matter how small the issue. It’s this open, realistic approach that makes Kinmel Campers the most trusted name in campervan servicing and conversions across North Wales.
