I do find that with a good torch I can see the base panel through the grille section in front of the driver, but I clear the drainage holes at least once every two months.

Hi Tamsin
I have posted your link below with your problem, I am sure someone will help before the day is out, but from what I have read below it sounds like you need to unplug the parts that have got wet in the boot.

Hi Guys & Gals.
keep you eyes on those plenums with this non stop rain we are having don't forget it only takes a couple of minutes to check, and also remember if the plenum is blocked with the torrent of rain it can also only take minutes to flood.

Have a good Christmas all cheers Arctic

First dry day here for over a week so managed to do my usual weekly checks, including the plenum's which i rodded just to make sure all nice and dry, water passing through as it should with the tube ends cut off.

Default Clarification please

Hi Artic, Terrific 'How to' on the plenums - do your explanations and recommendations apply identically to my 2003 Connie, please?

Hi Tug.
They do indeed right across the board, more so the diesel as the ECU if it went for a swim you would need to contact one of the T4 guru's t help remedy this, follow the instructions and you should be ok good luck Arctic

Default Plenum checks it's that time of year

Well what with the big deluge of rain we had yesterday early morning and those high winds, and April on the horizon with it's showers etc just give those plenums a check out.

You know it makes sense guys and only takes a short time all the best Arctic.
