Re: Water leak!!

I haven't had water ingress but I did notice when washing the car in the summer that the drain holes below the windscreen were blocked, so make a habit now of checking them regularly. Hi Ron - Yes noted, can see the drain below the speaker - is there a similar drain on the drivers side I should be ...

Re: Water leak!!

There should be no way water would get into the car from that point though. Unless there is an open seam in the metalwork. You would hope so.. It’s odd as the drain hole under the speaker is quite evident and appears to be efficient but it’s hard to see where water is drained from on the drivers si...

Re: Water leak!!

Thought this had gone away but wishful thinking… I’ve had a wet passenger mat twice this week which is the first time since earlier this year .. and I have no sunroof.. From what I can see the XC40 has a small drain on the drivers side and a slightly bigger drain hole on the passenger side just unde...

Scratches on Door Trims / Around Sat Nav

Hi Had my R Design for six months now and the very shiny bits are starting to pick up the odd scratch here and there - just wondered ... Can scratches be buffed / cleaned out of the high shine door B pillar trims and the same for inevitable scratches around the black shiny Sat Nav and center consul ...

Re: Water leak!!

Hi All I still have water coming into my passenger footwell - I have checked all drains are clear and I don’t have a sunroof. Annoyingly it’s only happening when I leave the car for a day in the rain outside work - and not on the driveway for example. I’ve tried pouring water into the lower windscre...

Re: Blocked drain hole

Yes, that is the one drainage hole on that side of the car. I’ve run a 10mm drill gently through the hole to enlarge it by a few millimetres and that seems to have stopped it getting blocked any more. Hi - just wondered if the Xc40 has a drain hole elsewhere on the front - I’ve seen and checked the...

Re: Water leak!!

I got some things out of the lower storage area in the boot today only to find they were soaking wet. On lifting the storage liner there was at least half an inch of water sloshing about in the floor well. I think there will be a call to the dealer in the morning! I checked both the front and rear ...

Re: Water leak!!

Have you checked the drain at the bottom of the windscreen and under the back of the bonnet? The air handling intake is here too. My garden has an oak tree and the leaves fall on the windscreen and slide in large numbers into this vulnerable location. Hi Robin Double checked the drain hole on the p...

Re: Water leak!!

I checked the drain holes on the passenger side and drivers side, both had a bit of grit around them but they didn’t seem blocked - I will now go and check the vents at the back of the bonnet too - thanks so much for the tip..!
