How to stop water leaking into your car

how to stop a Water leak
Waterproof, heavy duty Gorilla Tape: amzn.to/3VYgY1C
That gorilla tape is still on the car now, no one has ever said a thing, you can hardly even see it and I'm convinced it's keeping the water out 💪💪💪

Thanks for these videos on the isolation problem. This just happened to me and I’m trying to see if I can let it dry some and see if I can drive her home. There’s no other videos on this anywhere and you explain it excellently. Thank you.

Bad water management on the car isn’t it? 😭😭 I love that car it just works and keeps going but the time is coming to sell it I think

I hope it went well for you 🤝💪💪

Mine's an 2006 reg so I suppose pretty old, but yes, terrible leaking and dangerous with the electrics@@ColdStream

Thanks, this is very helpful as My RX400h has exactly the same problem and I have to keep disconnecting the 12v battery to clear the fault warning and start the car. Took it to Lexus who effectively said the car is a write-off because as well as fixing the leak it will need a new hybrid battery and controller. When you fixed the leak, did the battery dry-out and the VSC / check hybrid warning stop appearing?

I think you've hit subscribe too!! 🥳🥳 Thank you if you have and thank you for your comment (please subscribe if you're not subscribed already 🥳🥳) To fix this issue follow my other video about this vsc/battery problem I'll put a link at the bottom of this reply for you. The best thing about this issue is that you can do this yourself, it'll take a bit of time and effort but it'll save your car and it's a great car so save it 💪 You'll need to stop the water coming in as I've shown in this video and follow the steps in the video linked below and then you'll be sorted 👌👌 just stopping the leak won't dry out the water that is currently surrounding your hybrid battery and it's that water which is tripping a safety mechanism and brings up the fault. kzbin.info/www/bejne/bJqphnirgLVgobs

Same issue with my 2008 , water where you say. Going to open the boot next. Once you dried it out did the warning disappear ? An auto electrician says it's my battery relay 100% ???? Cheers Allan

[@ColdStream]

Yes with mine 100% once it was dried or even almost dried out, removing the error code (disconnecting and reconnecting the battery if you don't have a machine to remove the code) the fault has never come back. It was definitely caused by water detected in the electrics however I'm not a professional at this so all I'd say is try my fix, getting rid of the water will always be a good thing 🤝👍

@@ColdStream just opened the boot covers and yes it was full of water 😔 , I've removed the plugs and cable tied the lead up, let's see, fingers crossed 🤞

@allankelly6980 yeah water problems, after this you'll want to protect the underside of your car from rust for the future, that part I don't know how to do 🫠
