Mouldy car

[SCupra]

I've not used my car for 5 weeks and today thought I would give it a bit of a run and a clean, went in to the garage, got the car out and then, OMG

your growing a new interior.

 

[drka-drka]

Wooo some serious damp getting in your car there.

The door seals maybe? That can be cleaned up with some effort.

Think the rubber seals need a clean, when I open up the door after its rained there is water trapped on the interior door seals, not draining very well at the bottom of door, still wasn't expecting my new interior.

Getting a full professional interior clean tomorrow

Waste of money until you sort the cause imho

Thanks for the link Lee, I am planning to take the front door cards off tomorrow and have a look, I think the drains at the bottom of the door are blocked, need to get the clean done before the mould eats into the fabric

 

[LEE69]

Sounds to me the door seals are perished, a very very common problem.The seal is between the door and the carrier panel under the door card.

Mine was getting on like that after a couple of weeks sat, gave it a good clean, opened all windows for a bit every day and it's a lot better. Going to seal a leaky door next week.: )

Please do be careful... mould spores are not funny in the slightest and can make you very ill!

Make sure the people doing the cleaning will be using enzyme based products to kill the mould.

 

[SCupra]

Thanks for the advice mr OCD, I'll check with them

Inside car looking great but now my indicators are not working, no noise when turned on, hazard switch works ok but feels a bit sticky when pressed, fuse ok, any ideas?

 

[CupraRmark]

I lost my indicators on my first lc and I was told to spray some switch cleaner down inside the indicator stork because dust builds up on the contacts and it was cured, I was thinking it was the relay in the hazard switch aswell but this saved me around £30......
Do your parking lights work without the key

 

[thebody]

A friends indicators stopped working on his A3 replaced the indicator stalk problem solved

 

[SCupra]

My parking lights are still working so the stork seems to still work, just not for the indicators

 

[SCupra]

Well just took the hazard switch out and looked at the back, seemed a bit wet maybe from my damp, blew on it and now it works , will give it a blast with a hair dryer
