So removed alpine speakers today, and water ingress, so assuming they have blown. So I refitted my original speakers, left the alpine tweeters as thought they should be fine. Still no sound, and same fault code. Anybody have any idea? Would the tweeters have blown too and stopping the sound...

Very good points above for the DIY Installs. Making sure that the combustion air inlet and exhaust faces rearwards and slightly downwards. To stop forced air from driving forward and water ingress, even if the pipes are above the sheilds.

love it. . . . so you got a knackered key with a sticky button? or wet key with water ingress?

...too. You can remove the unit and remove the blue microswitch from the rear and probably see like mine that there is corrosion from water ingress. I've just removed mine but not yet ordered a replacement as everything on ebay looks like copy chinese stuff. the blue microswitch is the same...

Evening All, So I was driving my van back from getting the sliding door module replaced following water ingress from a leaky rear quarter window. Stopped at a petrol station, filled up with diesel and went to restart the van and the following error code came up. Couldn't start the van, called...

...connectors in question and apply a little bit of grease to electrical contacts on the "socket" side and replug it together. Any future water ingress will not cause contact corrosion and chances of disturbing electrical continuity are going to be seriously minimised. Please post adaptation...

...do what I did and remove all the tailgate trims :rolleyes: The seal leaks, bur the OE part has been upgraded. As a temporary measure, I used heavyweight clear tape over the light to reduce water ingress. Also remove the 4 plastic bungs from the bottom of the tailgate to allow the water to drain.

I see Hilo/Horizon now has 60Kg roof loading, which would put it back on my list. I was picking mine in Autumn 2022, so not the right time to be going Hilo.

If by fitting them you caused the water ingress that resulted in the short then yes. It's not a matter of avoiding the warranty, the warranty doesn't cover damage you caused even if unwittingly. It's insurance against manufacturing faults not accidental damage. If you've gone back to stock then...

Hi there, did you manage to fix your water ingress? I have a similar problem water dripping from behind the dash into the passenger footwell. I assumed that the was too much for AC condensate but bout sure. The incidents do seem to coincide with heavy rain. Any pointers?

...collecting there. Now I am parking the other way and no water can collect. Rather bad design to be honest and wonder will there be a water ingress when going on a wet road, but as you have also noticed there is no bottom rubber seal on doors anyway. Drove an MOD Ford crew cab last weekend...

Hi all, I've recently had some Vanshades fitted to my kombi sliding doors and I'm not sure they're 100% right. Should they be flush all around? I'm a little concerned the door seal won't be tight against the metal and allow water ingress. Cheers, Pete

Hi all, Sorry for slow update. Turns out the water ingress in the front footwell was because when the fitters installed the leisure battery, they ran the cables through the same hole in the bulkhead as that used by the tube that drains excess water from the the sunroof opening (brown tube in A...

Micro switch water ingress. Used to have Ford's that did this too, caused by power washing

Thank you! I took mine in as well and they left it under a hose for 3 hours and confirmed ‘there was a leak!’. Something to do with the door seal. It’s in today for a replacement seal so will report back when I know if that’s done the trick or not! Thanks.

Rear Level Sensor loom redone in correct colour cable and correct seals Before At last it’s done properly now and hopefully won’t have water ingress for a third time!

...clips. Just hold the plug, twist it about an eighth of a turn anti-clockwise and pull it out. Unplug the wire connection from the old bulb and connect it to the new one. Top tip. Put a smear of vaseline on the rubber seal to prevent water ingress which will lead to condensation inside the...

I am sure I have see this discussion before here on the forum. If I remember correctly water ingress on the slider is quite common. Coming in from the rear latch area. Or from the leaky window, water dripping through the slider panel to the bottom resulting in damp in the area you have...

VW call that module the 'Gateway" id#19 It's built into the BCM under the dash clocks.... It connects all the sub data busses together.

...tempted to put a replacement boot handle on it, if you haven't already.. Quick check of the connector terminals with it all apart for water ingress / corrosion. It will only activate the switch when unlocked as the wiring is controlled by the body control unit, so doesn't operate the handle...
