The windscreen scuttle drain tubes on a Renault Kangoo II (& why the easily block up)

The Renault Kangoo can suffer from blocked windscreen scuttle drains, which if left can cause water to enter the vehicle, make the carpets and floor wet, damage the heater and cause condensation and mould. It's more likely if vehicles are parked near trees where falling leaves and debris soon collect in the drain channels.
On all our vehicles before they go out, we remove the wiper arms, scuttle tray and trim to clean out the drain channels to make sure the issue does not arise for the new owner. In this video, I show the drain channel tubes and why the block.

Great! Spent an hour trying to clear it from the top - once I saw the pipe in your video I tried from the bottom. Was just able to touch the end and get a finger into it...cleared in about one minute. Thanks...good old girly hands finally earing their keep.

Glad it helped

I did this yesterday on my Zoe with the help of your video, however I used a steam cleaner and blew it out many thanks. I’ve fixed my leak!

[@GoGreenAutos]

Glad it helped

[@G-Cam1]

I watched it twice... Just to help your views👍

[@GoGreenAutos]

Thanks!

When filling the washer water is one of the only times to lift the lid, this rather focuses the mind that even the Zoe can get leaves stuck in the channels. I had the wells filling on my old Golf a while ago. The blower pushed the water all over my feet, quite a shock on a rainy night! Thanks for all your informative and helpful films.👍👍👍👍

[@GoGreenAutos]

Yes the Zoe suffers more from this. I've done videos about how to fix that.

[@briangriffiths114]

Several decades ago, I returned my two week old Renault to the dealer with the complaint that there was an irritating rattle behind the dashboard. It transpired that a tiny stone was loose in the drain channel which taught me an important lesson about keeping this clear.

[@darrensimon6181]

Yet again your video has saved me money thanks.

[@GoGreenAutos]

Glad to hear it!

Hi,my kangoo is flashing the dreaded “electric motor fault” it will not drive and the gear display is just flashing N what ever gear you select, the only fault code seems to be in UCH and it says battery low, any advice would be welcomed

[@bornakovac7857]

Can you make a video on how to change the oil in the gearbox and what oil to use? My Kangoo iz 2014. 22kw 100.000km

[@GoGreenAutos]

I hadn't realised that I've not done one. I have a older Kangoo to do soon, so I will video it.

[@chrisfarri8914]

Any idea why. My kangoo pisses out water into the cab when using the A/C? Bought from you few years ago and kind find a solution. Tubes are clear

[@cannamorecamping5029]

Is the AC drain clear? These can also gum up.

[@GoGreenAutos]

Your A/C drain must be blocked

[@chrisfarri8914]

@@GoGreenAutos would love a video on that one next. Know of another who has same issue on his kangoo although his is ICE car

[@kennethjessop6073]

As far as I can make out, the scuttle drains on my 2014 leaf are the windscreen wiper shafts! Can this be correct?

[@GoGreenAutos]

Interesting point. The water does just sit there in a Leaf. I'll have a look at that. A possible video coming...

[@kennethjessop6073]

It’s extremely hard to comprehend what is going on there, but the why, is even harder.

[@dixonsindorset]

Oh wow, that's an even worse design than the Zoe scuttle drain rubber boot thingies. Why, Renault, why? Like you said, I was trying to clean one of my Zoe ones, it dropped down behind the wheel arch liner, my heart sank, and after I finally retreived it by taking the liner out, I couldn't get the silly thing back in again, so it's been sat in my shed for the last two years.

[@GoGreenAutos]

Yes, I've done the same on the Zoe and they are very awkward to put back in.
