Title: Bad Water Leak when it rains
Post by: Auto Addict on 14 July 2007, 07:02:46
I thought I'd cured this by sealing the scuttle where the wiper motor spindle goes, in fact there are no leaks from there now.

But each time it rains the underneath of the scuttle (the foam bit arrowed in red) gets soaking wet, and drips onto the ecotech strip and the dispack connector (arrowed in yellow).

The spark plug wells keep filling up with water.

It's not coming in through under the washer jets on the bonnet is it?

It's a facelift, no washer jets on the bonnet.

I'm going to have to take the scuttle off, I think, to fully investigate it, when (if) it ever stops raining.

I notice that there is a maintenance guide for scuttle removal (pre-facelift), does anyone know if a facelift is different?

You can do scuttle! ;)

But if you want someone to talk to whilst doing it, feel free to pop it down.  Just don't bring the rain down with you!
