Where are the drain holes located on the Golf VI?
2 Answers
The drain holes on the Golf VI are located as follows: 1. Door drain holes: Located at the lower part of the door panel. After rain, water drains out from here. Due to their low position, many car owners may not notice these drain holes. 2. Sunroof drain holes: These are particularly easy to find, as they are located in the four corners of the sunroof area. They are usually visible when the sunroof is opened. This design is especially crucial for rainy days, playing a vital role. 3. Fuel tank cap drain hole: It is situated below the fuel tank filler cap, and this location is also relatively easy to find. Some fuel tanks may not be perfectly sealed, creating a concave area inside. Hence, this drain hole is designed to address this issue.
I remember the drainage holes on the Golf VI are mainly in a few places: There's a small hole on each side of the water guide channel under the windshield – this is the most prone to clogging. Last time I cleaned it, it was completely blocked with leaf mud. Then, there are drainage tube outlets at all four corners of the sunroof; you can see the small holes in the corners when you open the sunroof, and rainwater flows from here to the underside of the car. There's also a hidden hole in the spare tire well of the rear trunk – lift the spare tire mat to see it. If there's water accumulation on rainy days, check this hole first for blockages. The bottom edges of the doors also have concealed drainage outlets, often clogged with mud and sand. If the door makes a creaking sound when there's water inside, this is the issue. When checking the drainage holes, remember to use a thin wire to clear them, just be careful not to puncture the rubber seals.
