Water Leak Empty Water Leak

Post by murphy10fs Tue May 05, 2015 11:08 pm

My t4 Trooper is taking in water, in heaving rain water seeps into the van, it rolls down the inside of the wheel arch on the front right hand side, and as i'm parked on a hill facing down, it pools under the drivers pedals.

While it's parked I roll back the carpet where it would get wet to stop any damage and it pools on the plastic floor, leaving it easy to mop up.

I plan to take it to a garage this week or next to get it looked at, but does anyone else have a similar issue?

Thanks

Thanks Ploghlin, are the two holes, about 1/2 to 3/4 of an inch in diameter, either side of each windscreen wiper, behind the top of the bonnet, anything to do with the scuttle drain? These holes are clear, which leads me to ask, should these holes have some sort of gromit in them, or are they there to allow the water to drain through? I'll do some googling on scuttle drains too.

T4s commonly rust around the bottom the windscreen, resulting in leaks. Investigate carefully.
