I have a N/A wing from a donor car and I found some erosion close to the spoiler motor. Any guesses what it could be the product of? may the motor still working? Is there a way to see if the motor is working without installing it to the car?
Regards,
PICS 2,3 show some erosion, have tried to sandpaper it away..
My guess is exposure to salt water/ air. Cars that spend most of their time near salt water will corrode faster than a car from a desert region. There's a good chance it wil still work.
As a friendly side note- the word erosion refers to beaches and rocks being worn by the movement of water. Corrosion is when a metal is oxidized.
