Checklist

The check list or respectively the report is a practical tool for lo‐
cating the point of water entry. It is very helpful for data collection,
and the technician may begin by filling out the first section of the
check list together with the driver usually operating the vehicle.
Therefore, with the information from the driver, the conditions un‐
der which water enters can be clarified.
4.3.1 Notes regarding data collection
In order to efficiently collect the data it is essential that the driver
typically operating the vehicle helps to complete the first section
of the checklist.
The data collection together with the vehicle driver can be carried
out either by the technician or a service consultant. The technician
who will carry out the work on the vehicle then completes the
checklist.
The technician must openly ask the appropriate questions in order
to obtain specific information and allow for a correct diagnosis of
the water entry to be determined.
The technician should also explain to the customer the reasons
for the questions and then inform them of the measures that will
be performed on the vehicle so that they are able to give consent.
Correctly using the check list makes it possible to determine the
various operating conditions of the vehicle under which the water
enters the interior. The possible history of the vehicle also has to
be taken into account, the water properties must be analysed
and a set procedure carried out in order to determine the point of
water entry and the cause.
