Das sind die Abläufe deines Luftkastens. (Weiß nicht sicher, ob das so heißt. 🤔)

Jedenfalls unter den Lüftungsschlitzen in der Motorhaube sitzt ja der Lüftermotor und da drunter sind diese Abläufe.

Ja, sind die wasserabläufe die motorseitig an der spritzwand sitzen, also hinter dem motor. Dienen dazu damit das wasser welches über den windlauf reinkommt wieder ablaufen kann.

die zuletzt abgebildeten kenne ich nicht, nur die breiten, evtl gabs auch diese ausführung, vllt bei den vfl diese langen?

These are known to clog up, then overflood the DME/ECU compartment. You're better of leaving them off.

Yeah.....good idea.....cold water splashing over the hot engine and electrical components in that area.....

Better solution would be to reinstall them and just keep the area underneath the windscreen free of leaves by not parking underneath trees.Then the decomposing leaves won't clog up these drains.

Never had a problem by observing this.

And constant watering of electrical parts does damage them....Fiat Grande Punto is the best example here....one of these kinds of drains pointed exactly at the generator in this car and my sister needed THREE new generators in 8 years because of this design fault.....

It’s drops, not splashes. Mine have been off for over 10 years.

Nothing is going to happen to your engine or electrics. This trick is very old. Tried and tested.

If it rains like last week it IS splashing out of there.....and.....i am only being careful.Helped me a lot in 20 years.

And what he does in the end is his decision anyways.

I'll repeat myself. It's been off my car for over 10 years, daily driven through heavy rain, storm, snow, ice, everything.

Nothing will happen.
