GUIDE to Water Deflectors Gen3

Which Engine Bay Water Deflector do I need. This is the question I get daily. So here is a guide to the deflectors and Drain Kits I make and which is best for your Generation 3 van. This applies to Fiat, Peugeot and Citroen vans which are all built in the same factory but re badged to the specific manufacturer.

If you have a water leak across the entire width of the van (Picture1 RED) at the join between the scuttle panel and the windscreen, solving this problem can only be achieved by removing the plastic scuttle panel and thoroughly cleaning it, and the windscreen. Then laying a bead of sealer along the mating faces of the plastic scuttle panel and the windscreen. Once the scuttle panel is pushed firmly back in place, this should give you a good seal once again.

COLOUR INDEX TO PICTURE No1 BELOW.

YELLOW. Scuttle panel drains at the base of the screen are very small and get blocked quickly. My kit enlarges the existing drain holes significantly, and introduces an extra outlet (3 Drains in Total). The positions of the drains are marked in yellow on Picture No1, and are suitable for vans between the ages of 2006-2014. These are the models with a join in the centre of the scuttle panel. RHD only. Post 2015 models don’t need these drains as Fiat have greatly improved the size of the drain pipes. (Now in LHD on request)

BLUE. Centre water deflectors to deal with the leak at the centre join of the scuttle panel visible just above the blue mark. This leak soaks the diesel injectors causing serious expensive damage of the injectors. I make 3 versions, shown in picture No2. EDV1, EDV2, EDV3. It is suitable for vans between the years 2006-2014 LHD and RHD. If your van doesn’t have the central join in the scuttle panel, you don’t normally need these kits.

(EDV1) This directs the water to the front of the engine bay just behind the radiator. This version can only be used if there is no obstruction just below the BLUE marker, such as a black breather box as shown in the picture below.

(EDV2) This directs the water to the back of the engine bay and can be used in all situations, unless you regularly park at a steep angle to the side, in which case I would recommend EDV3.

(EDV3) This directs the water to the back of the engine bay as with EDV2, but gives additional protection to the sides of the metal bracket plate marked in blue. It can be used in all situations. (Why use EDV2 you ask if EDV3 is better. Well its a cheaper option for you).

GREEN. Bonnet Vent Ducting Deflector. This address’s the issue of water seeping through the seal marked in green at the join between the ducting on the body and the bonnet. The water is drained to the back of the engine bay via two pipes which are supplied with the kit. This fits all vans from 2006 to current models. LHD and RHD.

RED. Joint between Scuttle Panel and Windscreen. This can only be fixed by removing the panel, thoroughly cleaning and resealing from scratch. When refitting the scuttle panels, make sure that the foam laid over the top of the wiper boxes is in good condition. If not then replace it. As you lay the scuttle panels back in place onto the windscreen, the foam pads on the wiper boxes should be gently squeezed to form a seal.

BLACK CROSS. Windscreen Wiper Spindle Holes. The only thing stopping the water seeping through these holes is some foam wedged under the scuttle panel which works to a certain extent. My design aims to deflect the water around the holes. There are three layers of deflection.

LIGHT BLUE. Working on solution.

WIPER BOX/SPINDLE DEFLECTOR.

This is the current project I am working on for Gen3 & Gen4 Ducato vans. This collects any water getting past the scuttle panels on the drivers side and through the wiper spindle hole above the engine and injectors. Once I’m happy with its effectiveness and heat resistance in hot climates I shall add it to the list of engine bay water deflectors.
