We don't either. We used to have a problem on our Ford Transit Petrol Autohomes Frontier though.

I assume you mean the engine compartment?

If so, since the rounded front Sevel van came out (about 1996 was it?) there has been a problem with under getting under the bonnet & over the battery. It's no suprise given the slope below the screen & the size of the channel that is supposed to take the water...IMHO.

I scanned the MHfacts thread but can't tell if they are talking about the same thing........or are they on about the latest extended front vans???

this problem has been mention before, so what I do when the van is parked up I lay the silver screens over the air vents.

I think what they are on about is water running off the windowscreen
and getting in the engine bay through air vents.
However seen no probs yet, mine is a 2006 shape cab.

Water Water Everywhere

Hiya

We have the new shape Peugeot 07 and we are having problems with water running off the windscreen and onto the engine. We have put some tape across to temporarily seal to prevent further damage. Spoken to other owners same problem. Jen

the scuttle panels rot on the really old ducatos that is probably where the water behind you r dash comes from, my battery has a plastic tray between it and the metal tray with a drain hole so tthe water desn't lay on it

I have an 06 Ducato and not had a problem yet with water getting onto the battery. But i have noticed that the water channel at the bottom of the windscreen is very shallow, it can easily get blocked with leaves & other debris. Whenever i clean the van i make sure i always clean this channel with a brush & soapy water.
