Hello everybody,

I just registered to fully enjoy this great forum.

Live in Espoo Finland (just next to Helsinki)

Drive an Octy 1.9 TDi Combi (1999)

Recently I tested the waterproofness of the ECU. I noticed that when cornering there was someone taking a bath inside the dashboard. At least that's how it sounded like.

I checked the engine side just to find out that the space under the scuttle panel was full of water. The ECU was practically submerged. This was caused by tree leaves clogging the drain holes and a thunderstorm in the night.

Cleared the drains and off it poured. This was three days ago and so far everything works fine. (Terrified by the thought of slowly advancing deadly corrosion...)

Anyway, at the moment I think they really know how to seal things in the Skoda factory.

Welcome!

welcome m8.

Hello and welcome

Water is a horrible thing, when it is on the wrong places

Blimey, does the Fabia have this problem too? I drove through a massive puddle last night and the bow-wave completely covered the car!
