Carmate FG AB Bonnet water...

Post by renzkuken1 »

My dad says the water pours straight in the vents of the AB bonnet....is this bad? He said after a night of rain the car had water sitting on the engine in the morning. :/
I don't know if that's normal or people counter that issue with some device or part or anything.
Any tips will be much appreciated.

Sorry but this is going to sound the wrong way but you have vents (holes) in the bonnet the rain is going to go in there.
Water will dry up when engine heats up so there is no big problem unless it gets into you electrics.

So it's nothing bad water sitting on the engine where the vents are for a weekend?

I would say not.
If you are worried about it get a car cover to go over it when your not using it. Problem fixed.

I never filled the vents or what not and never had a problem and drove many times in the rain.
