Thread: Water leak from sunroof drains now no sound.

I saw this the other day, which may help.

Where would I start looking. I have no idea. No audio related faults showing on iiD unit.

Hi mate,

This isn't great news for you, these L494's have a bad habit of rusting out of the sunroof drain connector on the sunroof support panel (ask me how i know) especially in coastal regions. Mine spent 6 month in at Brisbane Land Rover last year

There are repair kits, but im unsure how effective they are, I assume it depends on the level of corrosion.

You will find that the water has pooled under the carpet, mine pooled in the boot area and filled up the battery compartment.
Yours would have flooded the amp under the drivers seat.

You are up for the 2 repairs, the drains and the Amp.

You might be very lucky and find a matching model number Amp on Ebay or if you can find an Amp repair place, but if it has been under water TBH its probably had the chook.

Sorry.
