wheres the clips that need re-sealing m8?
can you take the screws out the back trim and stick some water tap washers on them and re tighten,im after a quick fix just for the coil pack area tbh
Its these, there is a pic on the first post:
Without those, each hole will happily allow water to leak into the engine bay once the water comes up to the height of the turret they locate into. Obviously if you have the other drain holes blocked up properly, these are the only other holes it can be leaking through.
Additionally, I found I had to tease the expanding plastic clips out a bit with a little screwdriver to make the seal tighter. Just pushing from above and letting the plastic tabs naturally clip out and grip was not enough to assure it was water tight.
The only
problem is that to 2 clips you really need to make sure are fully pulling the strip tight are hidden under the struts, and these are the 2 which (if not water tight) will allow water to travel down to the filter area.
This is exactly what's happening to mine now, rained last night. I put a towel over the engine cover and revo intake just incase it happens and it did. The towel was soaking were the filter was.
So now I need to fund out were the waters coming from. I've plugged every bloody hole. So ill have to check the struts when its light.
Still don't see how the water can be getting in even from struts. and the binnent was bone dry underneath, I've left it with no sound deadening
As above, the 2 which allow the water to travel down the strut are the 2 which are hidden behind it. Apart from pushing down firmly from above, there is no way to gently pull out the plastic clips to assure its super water tight.
