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...

...(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...

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

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...

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...

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...

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

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

Hello thank you so much for the quick reply. I’ve just taken a pic now, I didn’t see any rubber gaskets being added the the new ones just attached with the Thule fixing bolts i think. I’ve just checked the old fixing bolts and they have a a rubber gasket on them. Would I be able to see water...

...(+ve and -ve) and a canbus pair (can high and can low) I would probably start by getting at the control module in the rear quarter panel and checking for water ingress in that area and also disconnect the 3 plugs that connect to the module and make sure they are all clean and plugged in properly

Thank you, I haven’t had chance to do anything yet but will follow your advice 🙂

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.

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

...rev counter up and down, headlights flashing on and off. It the engine and gearbox functioning as normal. Please can someone give me a clue. I disconnected the battery and it cured the issue but only for five minute or so. Could it be water ingress in the BECM Any help would be greatly...

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

I do you have a picture of it please?

...to allow for air flow. Im thinking.. and it’s a long shot, that this may be the reason why my mirror is playing up. Moisture on the connections playing havoc… Anyway it may pay for you to check your van for any water ingress just to rule it out. As I said, its a long shot but worth a look.

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...

...ones on the last two previous cars, they came as standard on our Kombi and I wouldn't be without. Cuts down on noise, draughts and water ingress. We have dogs and they are excellent at getting air in and keeping water out. They also offer a bit more security when you crack the windows open...

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.
