Leak from rear light (me thinks ?)
« on: 28 June 2006, 17:48 »
It would appear as though my rear driver side light cluster is starting to let in a bit of water every now and then, is the best and easiest fix just to get a new gasget from VW (are they still available ?)or does anyone know another better, simpler or easier way of curing this problem, thanks  :smiley:

Might sound a daft question but is your rear washer working?

I know what your getting at mate and it worked fine the last time I used it, if it was the washer fluid I would notice the smell and colour wouldnt I ?

Depends if you use screen wash or just plain water.

Sorry I should have been clearer, I do use screen wash in a 50/50 mix and its blue and stinks. When I put the car in the garage the other night I just left the boot wide open and propped up the carpet to give it chance to dry out butif its happened once there no reason why it wont leak again  :undecided:

Remove the lens and add some sealant gel (name escapes me).  It doesn't act like a glue but purely as a air tight sealant.  They all came with this from the factory but obviously if you have had lenses on and off this would need to be renewed.
