Audi Q5 Water | Leak Found Blocked Sunroof |

💧 Our latest 28 point check water leak detection service is a 2011 Audi Q5
The car is suffering from some heavy damage to the rear quarter as seen in the video, this is contributing to the vehicles water ingress. The car will need body repair to stop the leak continuing.
We also have a blocked rear sunroof drain which is causing ingress into the same location, the boot floor pan and passenger rear footwell, so these areas will need to be stripped cleaned decontaminated and dried.
Water has the tendency to find its lowest point in this case the passenger rear footwell and boot floor pan. The vehicles underlay is holding a significant amount of water as a result. Without removing seats and trims etcetera this will stay wet for a lengthy period of time which will cause mould to develop.

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.

How do you clean them out? Mines doing same thing but filling boot with water

[@esmatmurad6428]

Thank you! Good video. How do you unblock the sunroof drainage channel?

[@CarWaterLeaksFound]

I wish i could give you an easy answer, but unfortunately there isn't one. The drainage pipes are a synthetic rubber which just pushes onto the fittings, and I think on the Q5 there is a connector half way down, at least on the front. So you have to be careful otherwise these can just pop off.
So we usually try to flush them out from the top, or from the bottom, and possibly use a pipe cleaner, but if you poke too hard or use too much pressure, the pipes come off, or splits and you need to start dismantling the interior in order to repair it. This is something you probably don't want to get into if you are just servicing the drainage.
So be gentle and patient, take your time, don't force it, it will usually unblock eventually.
An alternative method is to use a wet-vac if you have one. In theory it is far safer to suck than blow, but if the pipe is really soft it just collapses in on itself rather than sucking the blockage out. Your mileage may vary.
As I say, there isn't an easy answer, but it's not that hard either.

@@shermanjamil how difficult is it to remove the inside panels close to the rear piller? I have the same problem on a macan.

[@maxirving3496]

I think the pipe has separated from the sunroof drain hole in the rear.

[@aeromastersargentina6579]

My Q5 doesn't have sunroof and when rain fall water gets inside by de front of the roof in the middle of the windshield.

[@newagainautoreconditioning]

Sounds like you need the windshield resealed.

[@aeromastersargentina6579]

@@newagainautoreconditioning the SUV is armed bulletproof may be when glue the windshield they doit wrong. The roof or the doors have a drain plug or something

Lift your bonnet and check the plastic panel along the bottom of the window screen is still attached.
