Another area to check for leaking, are those 2 rubber boots are on top of the hatch. You'll definitely see some dirt and water mark on the inside of the 1st trim piece you took off, as well as a faint stain on the head liner.
Hey quick question I know you own an S5 sportsback as well and just I’m wondering through the life of owning it does your Audi have a ticking noise when the vehicle is on and running? my car has roughly 50,000 miles on it and I can hear the ticking noise. I did some research and some people say it’s just what happens with a 3.0t engines but some others are saying it’s rocker arm failure. have you had any issues like this before or do you hear a ticking sound when your car is running? The ticking sound isn’t loud or really obnoxious. But it’s definitely there
If changing the tube doesnt fix the problem then change the rubber flaps locates on the bumper sides it happened on my car i thought changing the tube will fix it but nope
That's good to know! There's definitely a few different things that could contribute to water getting into the rear. Another I hear about is when people upgrade tail lights and incorrectly reinstall the rubber wiring boots at the top of the hatch.
I definitely need to do this, along with the wire loom boots. Previous owner installed a front/rear dash cam setup and broke the clips on those.
Thanks for doing this!
You’re welcome! Hope it’s a useful resource for people!
@@Vaguh Hoping I don't need to do this but I saved the video just incase!
