Hi all!
Just thought I would post a thread about my experience with my beloved T5.
I have read from a few that the sunroof drain offs are a bit of a pain and they need blowing out at regular intervals. This is something I have come to understand this last year after finding a puddle in passenger front well! My mechanic ( non Volvo) is awesome and found the fault straight away but I was still left with a huge amount of water to clear! After lifting the front carpet a bit and drying it out with my de-humidifier, I thought I had cracked it until I realised some months later there was still a crap load of water in the back. So if this happens to you and obviously its been coming from the sunroof, I would suggest you remove the front passenger seat, 4 bolts behind the plastic caps and u clip heated seat etc. If you are careful you can pull out the front carpet and lift the back one up, then it's a case of drying out with a de- humidifier I'm afraid! Hope this helps!
