Stopping water splash through the grille/bonnet

**Yugguy** · 22nd March 2013, 10:50

I've noticed water splashes on my battery box, and top covers, is it coming through the bonnet or the grille? Any way I can stop it?

Hi there I've noticed this on top of my air box always wondered how to solve this

You can get the CDTI/diesel rad covers, they fit and cover the gaps either side on the intake in the pic below

How does that stop water coming in thru the grille tho? You can#t block the grille out.

Thats where the grill is, hence the intake... Just drips down the rad.

Well can only do the above on the preface obviously, but you can blank a facelift yourself probably easier as hidden.

Pics in post 5, they come in 2 parts and are attached with the arch and sideskirts press clips, be about a fiver from the scrappers as they usually look tatty and useless but clean up well
