Car Water Leak Found Video Index

A follow-up on the previous video shows the car with the seats out and the carpets raised so we can see the water underneath.

We see a lot of Tiguans, and they are known to have problems with the sunroofs leaking. On this car, we initially thought the windscreen leaked.

The rear vents on this Golf are leaking, which is a very common problem on all makes and models of cars of this age.

In this video, James begins by showing where we have found water. Quite often a customer comes to us with a damp problem or steamed up windows, but it isn't evidence where the water is other than a general dampness.

This Insignia has water in the boot, which we traced to one rear vent, which is resulting in wet carpets throughout the car.

The car had wet carpets on the passenger side and there was also water in the boot.

Upon testing the sunroof, it was found there was no rear drainage, almost certainly because the drainage pipes are blocked with dirt and debris, causing the cassette to fill up.

James tests for moisture, which gives us an idea of where the leak might be coming from on a car with very little rain water ingress.

We don't always get it right first time and sometimes after we have repaired a leak, a car will come back with water in it.

James shows which areas of the car have soggy carpets using a moisture detector.

You can see in this video that the water in the car has caused rust. Rust causes more rust, so having rusty water sloshing around in your car is not good.

This video shows how the welded seams at the top of the tailgate are leaking.

Upon investigation we found just one leaking door membrane, however when one perishes it is a sign the others will probably leak soon, so we recommend replacing all four doors.

A customer came to us with water in the back, our 28 point check revealed that the rear vents were leaking. Luckily, there wasn't too much water in the car and it required minimal drying.

This is a simple fix, as it's caused by a build-up of leaves in the scuttle area, blocking the drains.

After our 28 point inspection, we discovered a door membrane to be leaking, and the drainage hoses for the sunroof were loose with one leaking.

Another Tiguan with the familiar problem of blocked hoses on the sunroof cassette causing a rain water leak on the passenger side, although both sides a blocked.They have a valve at the bottom which is easily blocked because of its design, which can ...

We found several leaks on this Ford Fiesta. The welded seams in the top of the tailgate were found to be leaking.

As a follow-up to the previous video, we'll show you a little of what we do.

After investigation, it was found that the rear vents were not closing properly. As James explains in this video, although they may cause water ingress from water can splash up onto them.
