Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

just changed my power distribution block as it had rusted on the battery lead. thought I would clean the drain holes, the drivers side is fine, goes into a tube, the passenger one though is just a dead end, its not blocked, its just an inverted plastic top hat with no drain, is this normal?

POST 2Original post

If you are referring to the area around the battery, there should be 4 drain holes, all with the same grommet in them and a slit at the bottom to stop rodent intrusion, they just drain out but not into to tube.

POST 3Original post

These are a common issue on Audis / VWs. The plugs get clogged with debris and water collects in the plenum and finds its way into the car. You either need to clean them regularu or remove the rubber plugs.

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks both the issue is one plug isn't blocked it's sealed on the bottom. There is no hole or slot it's a moulded sealed end. Like a blanking plug. I was wondering if its normal on some of them.

POST 5Original post

The early cars upto year 2000 i believe had a tube type drain with the latter going onto 997 had just a grommet . The point of both is to drain away water from that area .. there never was a blank on one side that i'm aware of .. and i've seen a few If OCD is not an issue then just remove the blank that's been fitted . If OCD is an issue then to replace the tube type drain its a fuel tank drop . The later grommet type and these are often missing .. they just block up with dirt so people tend to push them through . water drains out on to the top of the fuel tank .. 991 don't have this anymore .. just gaps that allow the water to drain out onto the fuel tank .

POST 6 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks Demort, Ill just put a hole in it. No OCD for me.
