Lexus RX400H 2009 | Water Leak Detection Part 1 |

💧 When a customer brings a car to us with a leak, we'll never know exactly what we'll find. What would you do if you were looking for a leak and found one, would you stop looking?

We don't. We look at all the places that cars usually leak, such as door membranes, sunroofs and those infamous rear air vents. And then we check our records (such as these videos) to see what problems we have encountered in the past with the particular make and model.

This Lexus has around six different leaks. We have seen many of these problems before, such as the drainage for the sunroof, and the cracked seams around the tail gate. The rear air vents are common to all cars, and on this vehicle, we can see that it's had some electrical work. You have noticed the module fixed with a self-tapping screw in the driver's foot well. And somebody has added an extra grommet in the boot, but not actually put it in the hole.

Solution
We will have to get in there and sort out the drainage on the sunroof. Sometimes they are just blocked, other times the pipes and connectors need replacing. The rear vents can be replaced, and the rest can be sealed up. We may also have some re-wiring to do.

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 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.
