Diagnosing a Water Leak into the Boot of a BMW 4 Series in Mallusk

Water leaking into your BMW 4 Series boot?

If you’ve spotted damp carpet or moisture in the boot of your BMW 4 Series, you’re not alone. Water leaks in modern cars are surprisingly common and if left untreated, they can lead to corrosion, damaged electronics, and a damp smell inside the cabin.

At 1Stop Motor Shop in Newtownabbey, we don’t guess. We use systematic testing and proven diagnostic methods to find the exact entry point before any repairs begin.

Our ongoing diagnosis on this BMW 4 Series

This 4 Series arrived after the owner noticed water pooling in the boot after heavy rain. We began by checking common entry points including the boot seal, tail light gaskets, bumper vents, and rear body vents.

The investigation is ongoing, and our next step will be controlled water testing and potential use of our smoke diagnostic system to identify any hidden leaks around the rear panels or vents.

We’ll continue until we find the precise cause, ensuring the fix is permanent, not a temporary patch.

How we trace water leaks accurately

Step-by-step testing

We follow a structured approach with visual checks, moisture mapping, water testing, and sometimes pressure or smoke tests to detect invisible leaks.

Advanced tools and methods

Our technicians use diagnostic smoke machines, UV leak detection, and targeted water flow testing to trace leaks others often miss.

Local experience and honesty

Based in Mallusk, we’ve helped countless Newtownabbey and Belfast drivers solve leaks that other garages couldn’t find.
