Ford S-Max 2012 part 1 | Water Leak Detection Service |

💧 This Ford S-Max has water in the front footwell, with wet carpets, which has led to black mould.

We found evidence of previous repair in the front, where somebody had sealed over a welded seam.

There's also water in the back, on the passenger side. The carpets are damp enough that there is flora growing. You may be surprised to hear that this is not the first time we have found grass, clover and other vegetation growing inside a car.

The problem appears to be caused by cracked welds around the tailgate, one of which has already been sealed in an attempt at repair.

There is water inside the box section at the top of the tailgate, indicating that the brake light is leaking.

The scuttle drains were slightly blocked, but those are easily cleaned out.

James (still with hiccups) will show you the cause of the main leak in part 2.

A B O U T

The videos shown on this channel are taken from inspection reports, filmed for the customer who has paid for a diagnostic inspection, which comes with a video report. We share them here for informational purposes because the hardest part of fixing leaky cars is finding the leak.

After the initial inspection, if the customer agrees to have the work done, we film progress reports for the customer and will sometimes include them here.

F E Q U E N T L Y A S K E D Q U E S T I O N S

Q: How much does it cost?
A: We don't know. That's why we do a diagnostic inspection. We cannot answer the question of how much it costs to fix before we know the extent of the problem. Prices for our inspection and hourly rates can be found on our website.

Q: Why don't you show us how to fix it?
A: This isn't a DIY channel, we are sharing videos we take for the customer as part of our inspection process. Furthermore, the vast majority of the fixes are simple, and if you need to ask how to fix them, you probably should let a professional deal with it. See below:

⚠️ C A U T I O N ⚠️

⚡ Electricity and water is a dangerous combination. This is especially the case with electric and hybrid cars, but most modern cars have electronic control units in areas which are prone to water ingress. These are easily damaged and can be expensive to replace.

💥 Areas that need to be accessed to fix water leaks may contain airbags. These are explosive and can be quite sensitive. Tampering with them could lead to serious injury.

☣️ Cars that have been damp for a prolonged period often contain mould, mildew and dangerous bacteria. Mould spores can seriously affect the health of people with asthma, the old, very young, and people with compromised immune systems. Mould should always be taken seriously.
