[Mk2] [Generic] White powder everwhere - help!!

Post by osborne0 »

Hi guys, could anyone help me with the following problem please -

I'm seeing white powder around the battery but only when 2 surfaces meet. I have cleaned it off in the past using bicarb and painted it with afterwards with Hammerite.

However it's come back - from the suface under the Hammerite!

The car has ben checked that the alternator is not overcharging.

Going under the car yesterday looking for a small water leak, when I removed a plastic guard and looked towards the front of the car I saw white powder everwhere as shown in this photo -

It looks like the car is falling apart around me.

Anyone got any ideas of what the cause could be?

The car has always started OK.
