Vauxhall Vectra | Water Leak From Pollen Filter Scuttle

Video transcript

0:00 Right, you asked me to show you in a few photos what was wrong with it. Vauxhall Vectra, common problem. The water overflows through the pollen filter. I took the pollen filter out, there it is. It overflows through there into the heater and in there. And it does that because of that little thing there that's blocked up.

0:21 That's a little grommet and like a teat that lets water out. And then it goes into the car. And then you look in here, either seat out, and then you can see there's the water in the front. And then if you see, if I squeeze the carpet, it all rolls out the carpet and rolls through the back, and you've got an inch puddle there. It smells a little bit, but we'll take care of that.

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. 

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.
