Fiat Ducato scuttle panel holding water.

· Posted: 25.05.2014 · #1

As most more and more motorhomes are based on Fiat Ducato I was wondering if anyone else is have the same problem as me.
Our Motorhome is the current model Ducato.
Rain water and water from washing is gathering in the section below the front windscreen. Along where the wipers are is getting full of water and going green.

Is anyone else have this problem.

In my rover 75 the brain is below the wiper scuttle. Every now and again the warning lights freak out only to discover a reservoir of water soaking the brain in the compartment below. A welding rod pushed into the outlets in the wheel arches usually cures the problem and removes the leaves and debris. Occasionally at my mechanics I take his airline with a thin nozzle and blow the crap out of the overflow tubes.

there's 2 drains , one small one beside the wiper arm , and one big one in the big central well . Poke them clean , removing them lets water run down onto the engine and other stuff that doesn't need to get wet!

P.S.
The title of this thread is a bit ironic, folks have been trying to do just that since 2007
