...end purge the circular drain holes until they are clear. Then, carefully replace the sliding window. If you park the van nose down any water ingress will allow the drain holes to do their job. Nose up defies physics as water doesn't travel uphill. It also helps if you never open the...

I would like a snorkel on our 2019 199 bhp Carevelle Exec 4Motion D/L. Often cross flooded roads in Wales and do not fancy bent con-rods and holes punched through the crankcase. As far as I understand it, the differentials axles ect do not have vented breathers but closed expansion tubes. I am...

Nice one will try wiggle it down from the corner above if there is any kind of water ingress tomorrow. Got a pretty long drive so will find out

OEM plugs. Come with those in as new.

...every time I put the van in reverse I get no signal I'm starting to loose my mind as my camera worked fine for two years prior this event with occasional camera swap out due to water ingress I also have just tried a power relay and still no luck and the headunit is new also. Any help...

That's it, just removed the microswitch and there is corrosion on it. Will order the microswitch on eBay

I was thinking of heating the lens off of a halogen headlight to stick back onto a LED headlight that has a damaged lens? I had a search about for someone doing something similar but came up with nothing.

You might also want to have a read through this thread as mounting rails can lead to water ingress - not everyone's mounting kit works well but there are a few ways of improving things: https://www.t6forum.com/threads/roof-rail-leak-free-fixing.6121/

Get somebody outside to use a hose while you watch inside, don’t spray all over, gradually move around the van and that should narrow down the entry point.

Not sure which roofs have a vinyl canvas, but the Hilo has a high quality, marine-grade canvas. Not sure if that's the same as water-proofed. but never had any water ingress. My bad for not reading thread the entire thread. :whistle:

Finally got mine fixed after 3 different garages too lazy to investigate properly, Advised by the guy who had the patience AND know how that if it wasn't fixed it would put an undue strain on the smart alternator. All fixed now, broken in 3 places, very thin wire used by VW which is unsuitably...

Spoke to my neighbour who does PPF and wrapping etc and said it’s not worth it because even if you get a stonechip it will pierce it and then get water ingress underneath. Everyone has an opinion though.

Qq on this as I searched for a recent thread rather than start a new one When removing the factory fitted bolts from the roof, is there any special prep before fitting my new awning rail, it's come with rubber washers but is there anything else I could do to prevent water ingress?

Most footwell leaks come from water ingress through front roof rail bolts

was it raining by chance? have you recently had a windscreen replacement? any water ingress in the drivers footwell area? just thinking out loud, but I cant see how the 2 circuits would be wired near each other, so id suspect the only point their signals will converge would be at the Body...

Yep those are the standard roof bolts. Have a good read of the linked thread to understand the water ingress risk. I used a variation on it to mount my awning rail. You might be happy with the mounting in the rail system you choose, but at least when you know the risk you can have a good look...

...aftermarket speakers or removed the internal ally piece to install sound deadening to the door skin? This is the most likely route of water ingress into the step. I had exactly the same issue on my T6. For me it was the grey squidgy silicon type seal that had failed. Ended up replacing the...

Fortunately I haven't detected any water ingress in the tailgate myself. However, it did occur to me could the water be entering through the numberplate fixings when open in the rain. The contour of the panel would mean water would soon pool and if inadequately sealed allow water to ingress over...

I’m not sure that’s the best direction, definitely a possibility but for me water ingress to the bcm is a possibility ?? I guess removing the steering column plastics and disconnecting the key barrel will prove it one way or the other
