Ford Focus 2013 | Water Leak Detection

Video transcript

0:00 OK, so today, 2013 Ford Focus, we've done the front scuttle area, it's clear of debris, there's no debris in there, so it's all leaking out bottom fine. Done the front door cards and the rear door cards, they're all fine. Done the rear lights, they're fine. All the door rubbers, the boot rubbers are all fine, no leaks there. We've come to the back, and as you can see in here where your rear air vents are, both sides are leaking. Got all this water in here, your carpets in the boot are damp, so we've got them. And in

0:55 here underneath your carpet at the front is all wet. You can feel it underneath there. Get a bit there, as you can see it's all wet, the driver's side. The passenger's side is wet as well, we can just get in here underneath this carpet, so yeah, that's all wet as well. You can see my hands are wet. So we're gonna put a quote together today for you. We're gonna put down the rear air vents on the quote, we're gonna put the door membranes on there. They're a common fault on these to go. We're always going to put

1:50 on a quote about taking the seats out to dry your carpet. So we'll put that all together for you and get it all dry back to nice again.

This Focus had our inspection and despite the very wet carpets, this car didn't have a multitude of leaks like some other cars of this model have.

All the standard places were checked for leaks, and it was only those rear air vents which were leaking.

You may be wondering why air vents at the very back of the car cause the carpets to be wet in the front of the car? The water leaks into the box section at the back and then flows down-hill to the lowest point.

Although the door membranes aren't leaking at the moment, we will recommend they are replaced anyway because we find they tend to start leaking after about 7-8 years and this car is approaching its 9th birthday. They don't always leak, but it's a fairly safe bet.
