Hi. Was back in with VW the other week, just waiting for a decent downpour to double check all ok. This time they replaced the window regulator and it seems to have done the trick. All dry where previously there would have been plenty of water ingress. Hope this helps

I have a suspicion that in my case the weather seals around the door are working just fine and actually the water ingress might be around the slightly loose door handle. One day I'll figure out how to get the rather large Caravelle door card off the inside and have a look...

Hi all. We have just purchased our first vw T6.1 and there is wet in the compartment at the back where the gas is stored. We have spoke to the garage that converted it and they are saying it’s from the spray off the tyre coming up through the vent. But the carpet is soaking. Surely this isn’t...

...(apparently they outsource camera installations to another company). In addition the car is under warranty but it is not covered for water ingress - however my view is there wouldn't be water ingress if the drain pipe had been connected in the first place. Can anyone advise what I should do...

I eventually found a control unit in the osr void beneath the window between the C & D pillar, removed and opened it up to find it had water ingress. Cleaned up and touched joints on circuit board with a soldering iron. Refitted to find lights off on dash! Had to recalibrate with vcds. Worked...

Water ingress at the third brake light or the handle itself are other culprits for a failing latch.. have you noticed anything like this? Have you replaced them or the garage? Are either able to say what the cause seemed to be? As @Alster said, whilst they do fail they’re not known for being...

Check your windows and doors for water ingress with a hose.

Water ingress is common and well documented. Sliding side windows one source, rear sliding door at the C pillar area and last but not least the tailgate. All leaking areas never been sorted since the T5 was first released. My 2008, 2016 and 2021 caravelle they all have the same leaking points...

They're a sealed unit. Users here have had them in the oven to melt the glue so they can be dismantled but then you have to reseal well them to stop water ingress plus I'm not sure you can even buy a lens.

The electric side slider control unit can also suffer from water ingress and corrosion.

Not what have I done but what has it done…………tailgate button has gone on strike! I’m assuming water ingress and micro switch failure. Luckily I have a key barrel on the outside so can still access the boot. I had the handle colour matched late October so I’m wondering if disassembly/reassembly...

try swapping out the relay, - as above and check the socket terminals for water ingress and corrosion. and possibly spread terminals, causing poor connection.

Water ingress problem seems fixed. It turned out to be AC condensate. The drain to the engine compartment terminates in a rubber grommet just below and left of the battery. This should have an open ‘slot’ at the bottom- mine seems to have sealed itself up. Condensate had nowhere to go other than...

Light misting that soon clears is normal. If you have large droplets that never disappear there will be a problem with water ingress. There's no harm in dropping a couple of small silica gel packs inside the lights every other week during the winter.

...modules an computers around the vehicle. I'm don't know what VW Group call their equivalent. It was a fairly common problem due to water ingress. Some owners got away with cleaning the big connector on the edge of the board, but in needed a whole new unit. The symptoms were identical to...

Aye, it'll dry out if we have a couple of weeks of warm dry weather.....oh hang on! :rolleyes:

if it was, what problem would it cause? because now I've disconnected the red and blue 12v feed everything still seems to work...

There has been an exceptional amount of rain where I am, but no water ingress visible in the footwell, but I'm guessing the rain must have caused water to get in somewhere. It hasn't happened again yet, but clearly, there is a problem there that needs investigating at some stage!

No, not me mate, I have mentioned getting water into/under the rear threshold when the tailgate is open in the rain but not a leak/ingress problem

I’m another that cut the plastic under trays to fit around the side bar mounts. The under trays do not stop water ingress as they are not sealed in any way, though they will minimise it except when driving though deep water.
