How to Solve Water Leakage in Volkswagen Lavida?
2 Answers
Check if the drainage holes of the sunroof and doors are blocked. You can find a disposable chopstick, break it, and use the tip of the chopstick to poke the drainage holes under the doors. After unclogging the drainage holes, there will be no water accumulation.
I also experienced water leakage issues when driving my Volkswagen Lavida before, which was quite frustrating. The most common cause is clogged sunroof drainage holes. When the rainy season comes, rainwater accumulates in the sunroof channel and gradually seeps into the car. You can try using thin wire or a vacuum cleaner to clean the drainage holes, remove the mud and debris, and then rinse with clean water to check the results. Another reason is a blocked air conditioning drain pipe. When the AC is on, condensed water can't drain properly and leaks onto the floor. This requires cleaning the AC evaporator and checking the drain pipe. If the door seals are aged, rainwater can easily enter through gaps. Replacing them with new ones will solve the problem. If there's significant water ingress, quickly remove the carpet to dry it, otherwise mold may grow and damage seat wiring. It's advisable to regularly inspect these areas and not wait until the leakage becomes severe. Safety first. If the problem persists, it's better to have it thoroughly fixed at the 4S shop.
