Ford Fiesta 2009 | Water Leak Found |
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
💧 Standard stuff on this Ford Fiesta. The sealant which is on the spot-welded seals around the tail-gate hinges has cracked and is letting in water.
The rear air vents behind the bumper are also leaking. The seals on these perish and sometimes the flaps become weak, or they can just get dirty. Both these problems are common to both the Fiesta and Focus.
We can also see that where fords have waterproofed the car with paper-tape, this has come off and is letting in water. No, it isn't April 1st, that really is a thing on some cars. A rubber grommet might cost a few pennies, but paper tape is far cheaper, so as they are making millions of cars they can save hundreds of thousands of pounds. Maybe this is good news if you are a shareholder, not so great if you are a car owner. I'm not supposed to rant in the descriptions of these videos, but things like this rustle my jimmies.
Solution: We will put some new sealant around the seams, replace or reseal the rear air vents depending on their condition. And we will find some grommets to go in those holes.
The car will have been treated and decontaminated by this point, we always do this before working on a car. Then the car will be 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.

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.

as the air vents are lower how does it make it's way into the boot well? I know it fill up but where is the exact entry point into the boot from the vents?
Great video, I am having this same problem on my Grande Punto 2007. The leak appears to start from the back around the same area in this video and leaks all the way through to the driver footwell. Have put down some sealant and ducktaped the s**t out of the rear! I have also sealed around the lights, praying that this woks!
Io ho lo stesso problema in entrambe i lati ho provveduto a mettere silicone su tutte le aggiunture della lamiera come in video sembravo aver risolto con la prova dell'acqua ma l'acqua continua ad entrare quando piove o quando la lavo. Riprovando dinuovo a mano con l'acqua al lato sinistro entra solo quando la butto velocemente sulla parte superiore della striscia nera ma credo ci sia un punto esatto dove lei si incalana perché se la butto piano piano su tutto lo stesso tratto non entra più .... e proviene cmq dal lato alto del faro posteriore. Ma se provo attorno al faro non entra quindi non proveniente dal faro. Mentre lato sinistro mi entra quando immetto l'acqua da sotto il faro cioè verso il paraurti e all'interno mi entra da sotto a differenza della sinistro ... un casino insomma non riesco a capire !!!!
How to seal rear air vents?

Yes, probably bad sealing under the stoplight, and under rear bumper you have few duct tapes that need to be resealed and put silicone arround air venta

Hey, I am having water in the same areas as you have shown, but I also have water marks on my roof, I have a feeling it’s coming from the roof rails, is there any advice on what to do? Many thanks Jen

@@jenniferleary5713 doing this repair myself at the moment. I peeled off the roof gutter strips (they’re just held on with double sided foam tape) and I’ve filled any holes or cracks in them with grey silicone sealant before refitting the gutter strips. Pay particular attention to where the roof meets the rear of the car - the welded seam there had cracks in on both sides for me. Good luck! If you have a sunroof, that’s a whole different ballpark - there’s a good video on KZread for that if you search ‘ultimate leak repair Ford fiesta’ by Speedy Garage

Typical of any car. They all leak when they get to a certain age.
