Vauxhall Insignia 2014 | Water Leak in Boot

Video transcript

0:00 Okay, we have a 2014 Insignia in today, so we're just going to quickly show you what the problem is we're getting. So we've got the hose up behind the rear bumper, and we can see a slight bit of damage under here where it looks like it's been pushed, so it may have been what's caused the leak. And so there we go, so we've got the air vent on the inside there, and as you can see it's running in very heavily. As what that would then do is, it would collect in this area, it would then obviously

0:28 come into the spare wheel holder, like it is doing, as well as it would use this as a guide to go underneath the seat, and then it would then get into the footwells. So what I'm going to do is I quickly just pause the hose. And if we come in on the inside, this is our little machine which tells us if there's any water underneath the carpets. So it's sand in there, so it's telling us there's water underneath the driver's side.

0:58 Also in the back. Now, if we come over to the passenger side, so the passenger side's nice and dry. Same as the front as well. So it's only wet down one side so far. So there we go. So obviously, to get this all dry, the seat would have to come out, we would have to suck out as much water as we possibly could, and then put our super dryer in there.

1:22 The reason being is because you don't want electrical problems, you don't want mould, and you don't want any odour smells either. So there we go, so that's what we found on that one there. Everything else tested up okay, so there we go.

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

Due to the age of the car, the rear vents could be leaking because they have perished, but there is evidence that the rear of the car has had a nudge which could have caused it on one side.

The water is flowing into the boot, but also running down the box section into the driver's side footwells.

We would recommend replacing both rear vents to stop the leak. The car then should be dried to prevent mould and electrical problems.
