Sub frame

Cali passed mot in June, had it serviced in August by my local VW mechanic (didn't do mot) on removal of under tray discovered the sub frame was badly corroded. New secondhand subframe fitted.

Jeeez, how old is it?

Final photo is of new second hand sub frame.
My mechanic friend said if I had had a leaking engine this most probably would not have corroded

Did it look like it rotted from the inside out or from the outside. Was going to look into what can be done to protect under mine.
It's a major bit, lucky to find a second hand part.

Looks like I'll be removing my undertray to have a look at mine.
Thanks for the post John.
