Vauxhall Vectra | Water Leak From Pollen Filter Scuttle Video

Vauxhall Vectra | Water Leak From Pollen Filter Scuttle Video

This Vectra had water getting into the cabin from under the dashboard making the carpets wet. By the time the car got to us it had quite a lot of water in it and was smelling damp.

This is a straightforward one. Water was running off the windscreen into the scuttle trough as it should, but the drainage holes were blocked. So the trough was filling with water until it reached the level of the pollen filter, where it just overflowed into the cabin.

Solution: Unblock the drainage holes -- simple as that. There's nothing to replace or repair. However, we will extract the water, dry the carpets and treat the car with anti-microbial. 

We have been repairing leaks and drying cars for over 30 years

Question: "I have already fixed the leak in my car, it was just a blocked pipe, but my car is wet and won't dry. Can you dry my car?"

Answer: Yes. We are happy to just do the drying part.

Modern cars are constructed by spot-welding the panels together. This is strong enough to hold your car together, but it doesn't make them waterproof, as the seams aren't welded all the way along.
