II: water in the footwell, blocked door drains

expensive

The drains inside the doors block up, and the water leaves not outwards but through the sill into the footwell. It goes unnoticed for a long time, because it collects in the foam under the carpet. By the time it gives off a smell, the connectors running in the floor are already corroding. Most of the electronics are under the third row, so look at the carpet there.

What to check

  • Lift the carpet at all four doors and press the foam
  • Open the doors and look at the drain holes at the bottom: are they blocked
  • Look at the storage under the third row of seats and the spare wheel tray

II: short circuit in the panoramic roof LED module (recall)

cosmetic

In Tourans built between 2015 and 2018 with a panoramic roof, a short circuit can develop in the LED lighting module of the roof. The maker issued a recall for it. Carrying out the recall is tied to the VIN and free of charge: if the previous owner did not take it in, it can still be done afterwards.

What to check

  • Check whether the car has a panoramic roof at all
  • Ask the dealer by VIN for any open recalls
  • Switch the roof lighting on, and watch whether it flickers or smells

It is possible that the wheel bolts were not tightened with the correct torque which could result in the loss of the wheel. Also, the running direction of the tyres may not have been taken into account when the winter tyres were fitted which could have a negative effect on driving stability.

Information, not an expert opinion

We write the descriptions, and we put the source next to them. A person reviews them before they go out. They are still information, not a technical expert opinion.

  • A fault on the list does not mean the car you are looking at has it.
  • A fault missing from the list does not mean the model is fault-free. Write-ups are made model by model. Not all of them are done.
  • You decide whether to buy. This is no substitute for an inspection. That needs a workshop and a history check.
