Guest jonnyc Posted October 15, 2007 Share Posted October 15, 2007 Hi all, hope you can help I have been sourcing the forums about sorting out the leaks on my god damn cab as the other day my passanger carpet was absolutely drenched. Lifted up the carpet n a big hole of rust had formed, fixed it up now though. I think i read on here that someone said there was a design fault with the mk4 cabs that behind/under the battery and fusebox the water channel would leak into the foot wells? Can anyone clarify this and how i could sort the problem out? Regards Jonathan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Eggsy Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 (edited) Mk3/4, around the battery tray & fuse box are a well known "bad spot" & water trap for these models. I suggest as Loo has to have a good investigation. The chances are you'll find corrosion. In the meantime to stop the leak you could clear it up as much as possible & bung a load of silcone over, would have to be dry though to adhere. This will make a decent temp repair until you have your battery tray repair panel welded in - upto £15 to buy. eric Edited October 16, 2007 by Eggsy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest jonnyc Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 (edited) thanks for your quick replys..... Just finsised tracing the water leak and you guys were right the whole of the battery tray was rusted through now i have a big hole lol! About welding the plate, i would obviously need to buy the plate first right? and then get someone to weld it in? Is this the right one and good price? http://www.lkperformancestyling.co.uk/prod...mp;product=3058 Also anyone know of any welders that will do this for me for not too much? See my pics below :convertible_mazeguy: Also if this is a common fault wont it happen again even with a new plate?
