0:00 Volvo water leak found. It's a Volvo C70, so it's the hardtop convertible we're looking at at the moment. There's a lot on YouTube and the internet about these rubbers, and yeah, we've neoprened, with a neoprene conditioning product on there, and the same round here, all the way round here. Often you'll find the water on the underside of the boot, but you think it's coming, but it's evaporation.
0:27 So we've got some dirty water coming in at the back here. You can see there in the corner, if I point at that, let's just get my finger in there underneath that light. That's evidence, the road water. It's unusual, but we do get cars with road water. So that's water coming in, spinning off the back wheel. James is going to replicate what that does with the hose pipe, so we'll get some clean water coming through, and that's showing where the water is getting in. Now this
0:55 little wiring loom that runs along here, you can see the wiring loom running all across there. That has a set of clips that clip to it, and if you look carefully along that line, James has cleaned it actually, but there was dirty marks along below each one. So it's just, once the water gets into a boxed area like this, it soaks into the carpet. Of course it never dries, it just keeps recirculating and evaporating, unless you, you know, unless you actually physically dry it. So I don't know if you
1:23 can see it well there, but below his hand there, see there, you've got the clip point there. There's the yellow light, and to the right of the light you can see the wiring loom, and you can see water dripping there. You can see it in the video, I can see it. So what we're going to recommend is either new clips on here, if they're available, all the way down, or we're going to take them off.
1:46 Oh, there's another one there. Look, James is showing another one, which is there next to his finger, and it's another one wobbling. So we're going to recommend new clips all the way along here, and then we're going to go from there. See that water just about to run down, and it's running in.
1:59 Now obviously he's put the water directly on the problem, but if you're riding down the motorway, of course you're showering that the same way, with the wheel splashing up. So another water leak found on the Volvo V70, old C70, might be on a V70 as well, who knows.
