Renault Clio | Water Leak Found | Scuttle

Video transcript

0:02 OK, in the workshop we've got a 2006 Renault Clio. It's come into the workshop with water on the passenger side. So in further investigation, we've removed the scuttle tray from the top of the car, and we have found that we have build-up of water just inside the scuttle tray, which corresponds to the drain underneath the water bottle is blocked.

0:29 That should drain out underneath the wheel arch, but inside of the car we have got an awful lot of water build-up. As you can see, it is absolutely drenched in here. Not very nice place to be at all. So to do this, we have to remove all the mould by putting some killer on it, mould killer on it, remove the seats, remove the carpets, and give it a good dry, and then make it like new again.

We have seen a lot of these down the years. There is a trough in front of the bulkhead under the 'scuttle' which is the plastic panel just under the windscreen.

This trough has a drainage hole on either side. Over time, leaves and other debris finds its way down your windscreen into this area, and it can eventually block your drainage holes. The trough then fills with water and leaks past the bulkhead into the passenger compartment.

Solution: Unblock the holes and then clean up the passenger compartment. The carpets need to come up, the water sucked out and the car dried.

Question: "I drove through a ford when the water was too high and flooded my car. Can you help?"

Answer: Yes, we have done many of these over the years, usually through insurance companies. Give us a call, and we can talk about it.
