Title: Another Leak...
Post by: Blue MK2 on 12 November 2003, 23:25

Its nothing major but i seem to get alot of rain water in the engine area and alot on the battery of my MK2. This is when the car is not driven.

Ive recently put a new bonnet on due to a small smash. Am i missing some seals on the bonnet?

do you have a water deflector on your car? its the bit under the window that covers the wind screen wiper motor etc .. . i dont have one on mine and get a lot of water in engine . is the bonnet you put on new ? it could be slightly mis-aligned or bent. water is a nightmare . good luck mate. ;)

Have you got the little seal that is clipped on the leading edge of the bonnet and contacts the grill when the bonnet is closed?
