Hi Guys first of all my apologies if this is the incorrect way to find info as this is my first post.
Re Fitting a Scuttle guard to prevent ingress of rain water onto injectors.
Having read an old posting from Jenian 2011-06-03 re this subject any information would be welcome as to how to prevent water ingress into the engine compartment of my 05 Duetto.
Many thanks in advance Chez up!

Hi Welcome to the forum.

I fitted a left hand plastic water pipe from the scuttle.
Maybe you can do something similar on your vehicle.

Hi Chester

Reckon yours is a mk 6 tranny.....if so water from screen flows down screen under plastic wiper trim n into gutter n down pipe......poor system...... If sealing around wiper drive/heater intake gutter joints is poor injectors/ head will flood. Check n replace/ reseal...ford use foam strip / cardboard for same...hopeless.....water still flows in at left n right outer points. And soaks air box and washer bottle...check it out by removing wiper trim.....hope this helps dave h

Thanks for your info, have a guy coming out to
see what can be done.
Only had this camper for a few months if anyone knows any history re duetto GNO5KZK info would be apprecated.

Our last camper was a 2002 VW Calypso best camper ever. Had it for 9 years, used for work as well as travelling around Europe never missed a beat. Missing her already!!.
