Volkswagen Tiguan | Part 2 | Water Leak Detection Service

Video transcript

0:00 Just a quick interim video. So the cable was running through here, that's now been took out, and this has all been cleaned, and this is where your cable thing goes. So then if I go in here, James is, this is our Formula 4 2.9 decontamination product, the machine here. So he's doing the underneath of the carpet while it's still wet, so that the product sinks into the watery surface, and then we dry it, if that makes sense.

0:26 We've already done the rest of the car, because we did that before we started the investigation. So this is the main thing, it's just showing you where your water is, basically. Not a huge amount of water, but there'll be a lot of it soaked in here. So he's going to have to suck it out here, and then we put the drying machine on.

0:43 It's all sodden and wet under there. So your wires are here, and you know the threat of the problem would have been, you probably would have got potentially these connection points, they corrode and then things stop working. And then also you get corrosion in the bottom here, as well as a quite a nasty smell, so, and steamed up windows to boot.

1:06 Reverse sensors, instead of going through there, I'm going to go through this grommet here. So the grommet that should, it should have gone through in the first place? Yeah, just for the tow light. Okie doke. Alright, and then this is it. So yeah, so these are all been cleaned up anyway, because these in special events, so we do them while we've got the bumper off.

A follow-up on the previous video shows the car with the seats out and the carpets raised so we can see the water underneath.

James is fogging the car with a disinfectant, but through the fog, you can see there is a puddle of water in the floor pan. This is why it is so important to get the carpets up and dry the car properly. The car already smells of mould, and we can see some corrosion on the bolts at the front of the footwell. Many electrical systems run underneath the carpets, and water can get into these and cause problems.

As can be seen, we re-routed the wiring and used a proper grommet to make it waterproof.
