Water Leak Diagnostic Procedure

Introduction

This procedure has been developed to aid diagnosis and rectification of water ingress on vehicles with the aim of providing a right first time fix.

The procedure provides suggested points of water ingress and guidelines for a recommended fix.

Prerequisites

It is assumed the technician working on the vehicle will be at least level 3 trained and normal vehicle service protection equipment will be used where appropriate i.e. seat covers, wing covers etc.

Water Leak Diagnosis

There are certain basic tools required for effective water leak detection the following are a few recommendations.

Basic tools
Hosepipe
Water supply
Pressure Washer
Watering Can
Torch
Mirror (telescopic type)
Air supply
Boning tool (Nylon shaped block for trim removal)

There are several adaptations of tools that can be used, for example a watering can rose attached to a hosepipe to create a spray, or a new sealant tube nozzle attached to a hosepipe can be very effective to direct water into awkward corners, there are also several ready made hosepipe nozzles available from DIY stores which can be switched through several different water patterns, and finally not forgetting a normal car wash. With the exception of a car wash initial diagnosis is more accurate if carried out by two people, one inside and one outside the vehicle, the person outside can direct the water onto the areas where the leak is suspected to be entering, and the person inside can inspect with a 12 volt hand lamp to confirm the entry point.

It is worth bearing in mind that the location that the water appears in the interior of the vehicle, may not be the leak source, for example water lying in the passenger footwell could be entering on the drivers side and running across, behind the fascia. In order to find the water entry point, trim or components may have to be removed.

Staining

Often when water has been entering over a period of time, the water entry point can be located visually by following the stains or tracks left by the leak.

Sealing Water Leaks

There are different substances that can be used to seal water leaks, putty type sealant and wet/paste sealant. Examples of these are bostic (dum-dum) "303 glasticon" and "betafill 10210" which is a white paste and "terostat 33" which is clear.

NOTE:

Do not use silicon based sealers as these will cause problems if any subsequent paint operations are required.

Careful consideration needs be given as to the substance used to seal a water leak, for example an external seam on a white vehicle would require white or clear sealant, dum-dum is best used in concealed places to fill larger gaps. The sealant should be applied in a manner that it does not look unsightly when finished, if used in a box section or under a carpet, applying and smoothing over should be ok, but on the external panels or visible areas the sealant should be "wiped" into the gap and any excess removed with a suitable spirit that will not harm the vehicles paintwork

Once the water entry point has been confirmed, the suspect area must be sufficiently dried prior to the application of any sealing compound the use of a compressed air will assist
