Fiat 500 Re-Test | Water Leak Found |

💧 Unfortunately, this Fiat 500 came back to us for the third time with another leak.

We had previously fixed the door membranes and the car came back with a leak in the same place. It transpired that the car had been in an accident and the bodyshop had needed access to the inner door, so they had cut through the membrane and not made good afterwards.

In this third chapter of the story, the customer returned very annoyed, and we can hardly blame them.

The customer thought the floor pans were wet on both sides, and complained that the car was still leaking on both sides.

We tested the vehicle and could find no leaks on the driver's side, and no sign of water either. It is likely that when the owner checked, the driver's side was slightly damp just through having wet boots on the floor.

The passenger side, however, was very wet. This turned out to be a burst pipe which supplies water to the rear window washer.

We could do this the easy way or the hard way. The hard way would be to replace the pipe completely, but that would be a lot of work, which would cost more money. The customer wisely opted for the easy way, which is to splice the pipe in place.
All our repairs come with a three-year guarantee, and we wouldn't offer this option if we didn't think we could do a lasting repair.

With the repair done, we dried the car and tested under our rain arch.

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.
