BMW 3 Series - Leak Under Dashboard

💧 This BMW had wet carpets on the driver's side, which it was suspected was coming from under the dashboard.

Our inspection revealed that leaves in the scuttle area were blocking drainage holes, allowing water to raise to a level where it could pass a leaking grommet in the bulkhead.

We also found the rear air vents behind the bumper to be leaking.

SOLUTION
We cleaned the scuttle of debris and resealed the leaking grommet. We also removed the lights and back bumper to access the rear air vents -- everything was cleaned and sealed as it was put back together.

The car was decontaminated to prevent mould, and the seats were removed and carpet lifted so the car could be thoroughly dried.

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 air bags. 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.
