Chinese Water Fountian in Car

[Evoss]

Hi,

When it rains and go around a cornor I hear water trickiling and sloshing about. As of yet I havent seen or felt any water but what could it be? It actually sounds really nice, lol but it may cause a bigger problem.

I do have a sunroof for the note.

Cheers

Does it to me in my Mk1 sometimes after heavy rain... Just means its sitting inbetween the roof and the headliner i suppose! but i get drenched after a few corners.

Story time:
Was a nice sunny day after a crap day of rain, went to college in a smart outfit and the roof started leaking on my side only.. not just drops but a waterfall!.. ended up getting out of the car and looking like i had bathed in my clothes.

sounds like the drain channels for sunroof are blocked

Look under your sun visors for signs of wet.

No signs at all lol

Is this when you get water sitting all around the edge of the sunroof if you look at the roof of the car ? glugs when going fast ?

How can I sort it ? :rasp:

i used to get this in my ph1 i traced it to water getting caught up in the sills as i drove along

Is that a problem ?

I know this sounds daft but it wouldn't be the petrol sloshing about in your petrol tank would it? Only suggesting it because I can really hear mine doing it since I removed the rear seats out of mine.

 

[Laura]

Nope, just water getting caught in the spray then running out again

the tanks are baffled so it shouldnt slosh about as such

I have posted previously in the forums about this problem also. I have had this problem with my mk1 and my mate has this problem with a mk2. We have sorted both of these ( i say we but my dad as he is a mechanic).

It is the sealer in the sunroof that lets the water in and then it gets caught under the roof lining and in the light in the middle of the car. When you go around the corner you disturb the build up of water and then sometimes it leeks through the centre lights. It can cause for the car to immobilise if you dont get it sorted (if it has an immobiliser like some of the mk1's).

We solved the problem on both of these by taking the seal out that was in there (which wasnt sealed in or stuck in in anyway and we use silicon seal to seal the seal back in. By doing this the sunroof can still be used and the leek and build up of water has now gone.

Hope this helps.

f**king hell, didn't realise there would be enough room to hold that much. Bet that car felt a tad nippier afterwards. Less weight etc.

I have water marks on my headlining.. just another way of telling. Also when its freezing temperatures you can hear the ice breaking as you drive about lol... was quite un-nerving at first.
