...replaced and trimmed we decided to seal the widow ( with sealant ) …Also If you’ve had speaker upgrades in the doors they can cause water ingress ( we had @Absolut5 fix it ) ..but keeping the door seals clean and supple helps. ( we use GummiPlege ) and check the roof bolts are sealed ( we’ve...

Have you tried VW dealers? They supplied and fitted mine a few weeks ago for about £170.00 Fitted craply I might add, water ingress within a week, bolts probably torqued to the correct tightness but were literally hand tight. Took them off, sika flex and bolted back on myself. They agreed to...

Who did you get to fix it for you @RichP ?

...to look for are chaffing wires in the body to tailgate area and if you have door switches same between the door and body. Check for water ingress in the tailgate release handle as well, I think some folks have had issues there. Finally double check the obvious, that you're not somehow...

...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...

They advised that the used vehicle warranty specifically excludes leaks and perished seals. It was the seal that perished causing the water ingress. Not had any issues since replacing.

assuming a sticky button, btw the tin was washed out beforehand so it won't get extra sticky ;) Although just been told the spare key did get wet yesterday......

Thanks for the reply. The whole underneath was ringing wet. 2 days into the dehumidifier dry and and we're slowly getting there. It's frustrating as I've got all the new parts there ready to fit, but it's definitely worth the wait. I do have a new threshold, so will keep my eye on it. A good...

...corroded. Is this normal or do I have a problem? I've just taken the van out in driving rain plus it's rained heavily over night and when I've checked under the bonnet everything is dry with no visable water ingress anywhere. Any thoughts or advice would be very welcome and appreciated. Cheers

I "think" I've seen a filter (tried to photo last pic) but will take a closer look My drive where I am filling has the slightest of slope..maybe this is the issue?! I'll try turning the van the other way too

...is leaking badly and i have discovered lots and rust under the seal. I have the All In Plan so thought no problem. VW have just declined a replacement as apparently glazing units & water ingress aren’t covered by the policy. I have asked for a good will contribution but doubt I will get anywhere.

...a bit sh1t. Surely they cut this strip to length for each job from a roll and they’ve simply cut this one too short? Does that gap risk water ingress under the poptop roof? Am I being fobbed off by the installer? I won’t mention the firm unless they don’t rectify it if that’s what the poll...

As far as I'm aware, yes. It's the first time I'd seen the brake lights come on with my own two eyes, as in, not in a reflection. It's both sides, too, so it's not like its water ingress and a short, unless I'm very unlucky.

Hi I have a F45s awning fitted to my T6 together with side panels. I have sorted the rain ingress issue along the van edge using the pipe insulation method recommended by many and works a treat. However, I still have an issue with water running down the inside of the side panels where the...

I'd leave the roof bolts alone or you may get water ingress. A Reimo rail alloes you to fit awnings etc without lifting rof etc

What RAC did to start the van again? ECU water ingress? BS. At first sight looks like battery issue. Check the voltage, anything below 12,2 when stationary will throw any sort of error on the Caravelle ( same happend to me on my last 2 caravelle). Check the voltage with engine running (just to...

As @airwolfke says. There is no need to have a filler inside the cab, it’s possible to fill a tank with a pressure hose through a 12mm (1/2” inlet) with a non return valve (NRV). This filling line can be made at any point in the tank. There needs to be a separate tank vent with a filter to...

Fitted these bad boys today with new mounts and speaker surrounds to protect them from water ingress.

...centre console in the roof. Well that's how it's done on a t6 anyway. It's unlikely the fuse will blow unless there was cable damage or water ingress, I've had mine on the van for five years and never had a problem with it. Maybe the connections come unplugged at the light connection in the...

...Less than 2 months old and it’s leaking from the top seal of the sliding door, leaving puddles on the rear seats. I’m also seeing water ingress on the top seals of both driver and passenger doors, but not to the point where it’s dripping inside the van as much as in the back. Not only...
