 Posted: Tue May 24, 2016 8:48 am Post subject: Type 3 72 Squareback Leaks |
 |
|
| I'm helping out my son restore a Squareback who is attending UC Berkeley and working to get by of which I am very proud of. I'm just about there but before I install a new carpet kit I'd like to fix a leak where water comes into the car. Anyone have this same trouble and identified common places where this comes in. I'm going to hose it down to see if I can find it but I was hoping that someone has already gone through this to offer some additional advice.. Thank you, Mario |

Check this link:

Most common these days are airbox and their hoses, antenna grommet, and leaky windshield seal (even if it look okay). But it's a good idea to go through the VW manual linked anyway. |

No problem. Not everyone remembers the tech section has info hiding in it.  Don't get me wrong, it took me a few minutes to find the link.
