Volkswagen Golf 2014 | Water Leak Detection (part 2)

Video transcript

0:00 OK, part 2 on the Golf 2014. So to show you the back leaks now, we've got the hose up behind the rear bumper, which is flashing on the rear air vent. And if we just go into the inside of the box section here, so we can see that the water is actually coming past the air vent there. And then what it's then doing is it's filling up the box section.

0:25 And so if we look in the bottom now, we can see that the waters coming in. And if we just come over to the driver's side as well, so we can see that that's leaking in as well, as we can see a load of water in that box section. And so once the box section then fills up, what it would do is exit from this point here. And then what it would then do is run down here, fill up the back boot, as well as use this as a guide, and then go down

0:56 underneath the back seats, as we can see there. And so there we go, that's what we've found so far.

This second part of our video on this VW Golf showing the leaking rear vents which are causing water to collect in the boot area.

An awful lot of water can get into these vents, but just rain or pouring water down the outside of the car won't reveal this. The water that leaks through these vents splashes up from the road, which means it's dirty water... more dirty than normal rain water. It will contain all sorts of contaminants and organic debris which provides food for bacteria and mould to grow on.

Solution: The air vents will be replaced with new ones and while we treat every car that comes with us with a fungicide to decontaminate it, now we have the car in bits we can properly treat these areas.

Question: "This seems to be the problem with the leak in my car. Do you have a branch near Manchester?"

Answer: It'm afraid not, we just have the one branch in Chelmsford in Essex. There should be a garage in your area that can do the repairs, and we have videos offering advice about how to try your car.
