Part number for boot vents?

[ben g]

I've been told by a member on here that the water leak in my boot may well be coming from the 2 vents behind the rear bumper.

I've had a look on realoem but can't find the part number for these.

Does anyone have it? If not, i'll have to remove them and hope it's on the vent.

Cheers.

:lol: sods law that I found it after creating this thread.

Part number for reference is 64226909340.

Really can't see those vents allowing water in. Way more likely rear lights which often let water in.

It's worth a try. The vents are only £4.00 each.

Rear lights should be fine and I can't see any evidence of the water leaking through the foam bits.

I'll update this after I fit them

Just had a look at the vents in the car and it does appear that the seal around the outside of them are letting water in.

The sound insulation around the strut towers is soaking, so that'll need a complete drying out.

Here's a few pics:

N/s vent:




Easily removed without taking the rear bumper off. Simply push them through and then bring them back through the hole. They will need turning a little to get through.



You can see where the water has been getting through here, bottom right of the vent seal.


I hope this helps others with wet patches in the same area. The vents are so cheap (i paid £4.00 each) that it's worth buying just incase it fixes the issue.

I had the same problem earlier in the year... http://www.z4-forum.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=61611&hilit=leak&start=15

I ended up removing the rear bumper to gain access. You have the same symptoms as I did, new vents will/should sort it
