Kiltox Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 Has the new arm sorted out the weird handling at low speed? Is it any cleaner inside? Does it hold its volts now? Tough old thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cavcraft Posted July 8, 2017 Share Posted July 8, 2017 Disclaimer: the wording of this message does not, should not and will not imply any suggestion of interest in this motor vehicle. E&OE exempt. The water ingress will be the pollen filter seal and/or the scuttle panel drains being blocked. Removing the battery helps to poke out the hole and the entire scuttle needs clearing and the drains poking through.

red5 Posted July 8, 2017 Author Share Posted July 8, 2017 it's drivers side....mostly. Sunroof drains or bonnet cable ^^ or all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vaughant Posted July 8, 2017 Share Posted July 8, 2017 Drivers side will be pretty much as described by Billy but on my Leon the gasket beneath the wiring entry had been squashed in the corner. Removed and disconnected wiring, put on 50p's worth (LITERALLY) of sealer, dried all wiring put using dry PTFE spray and reconnected. Fault never came back. Haven't read the thread but get it sorted as I had a minor FTP in my Leon as it snaffled the connections inside the accelerator pedal and lost all power. Honestly takes an hour to sort max.
