Suzuki SX4 2013 | Water Leak Detection Part 2

Video transcript

0:00 OK, so we've got the rear air vents behind the rear bumper. I've got my flexi camera going down the little hole behind the panel, and we can see the air vent here, and we can see the box section, and we can see that the box section's dirty. But what we're going to do is we're just going to simulate that it's out in the rain, so we're going to pour some water on the back of the bumper side here. And then if we go onto the camera, we can see that the water's passing through the air vent and then slowly dripping in, and then obviously it's then filling up the

0:30 box section. And so there's water coming on the passenger rear air vent, as we can see there.

The rear air vents are leaking on this Suzuki, as if to prove that it's a problem on virtually all makes of cars.

We have had a lot of comments on these videos in the few years that we have been doing them, that people are disgusted that their car's rear air vents are leaking. They blame the manufacturer and comment that there should be a recall.

We don't do many Suzuki, but even this is suffering the same problem as Fords, VWs, Volvos, etc. Not all designs are the same, some have folded plastic which perishes, some have a hinged gate, but all seem to wear out over time. The other problem is the plastic shrinking, or silicone seals that hold them in drying out, so they leak around the outside. 

Our best recommendation is that these vents be replaced with new ones.
