Where is the Drain Hole Located on the Santana?
2 Answers
The drain holes are generally located on both sides of the front windshield wipers, with one on each side. The engine compartment is a relatively open environment, so wastewater and debris can flow into it from the windshield. To address this, engineers designed a water deflector at the rear of the engine compartment, along the lower edge of the windshield, and incorporated drain holes in the deflector. Below is some relevant information about the new Santana: 1. Interior: Features include heated seats, side airbags, side curtain airbags, ESP, cruise control, and leather seats. Some manual transmission models also come with automatic air conditioning. 2. Powertrain: The new Santana is equipped with 1.4L and 1.6L EA211 series engines. These engines are available in two displacements, with the 1.4L engine delivering a maximum power of 66kW and the 1.6L engine producing 81kW. Both engines utilize a lighter all-aluminum structure.
Last time it rained heavily, I noticed the passenger side carpet was wet. After a careful inspection, I figured out that the Santana's drainage holes are mainly located in five areas: The water guide channel under the front windshield is prone to leaf accumulation, with rubber drainage holes near the wipers; There are flat drainage holes at the bottom of each of the four doors, covered by seals with openings the size of a fingernail; Each corner of the sunroof hides a 5mm diameter round hole, which can only be found by gently poking with a wire; There's a rubber plug on the right side of the spare tire well in the trunk; There's also a small hole on the inner wall of the fuel filler. When cleaning, it's best to prepare thin wire and an air gun, especially paying attention to the bends in the sunroof drainage pipes which are particularly prone to clogging. After poking, pour a bottle of water to test if it's clear.
