Water Leak Test - Subaru 2001 LEGACY Service Manual

44. WATER LEAK TEST

Spray the vehicle with water and check that no
water enters the passenger compartment.
¼ Before performing the water leakage test,
remove anything that may obstruct the operation or
which must be kept dry.
¼ Close all of the windows completely, and then
close all of the doors tightly. Close the hood and
trunk lid before starting the test.
¼ Connect a hose to a tap, and spray water on the
vehicle. The rate of water discharge must be
approx. 20 to 25 liters (5.3 to 6.6 US gal, 4.4 to 5.5
Imp gal) per minute.
When spraying water on areas adjacent to the floor
and wheel house, increase the pressure. When
directing water on areas other than the floor portion
and wheel house, decrease the pressure. But the
force of water must be made strong occasionally
by pressing the end of the hose.
NOTE:
Be sure to keep the hose at least 10 cm (3.9 in)
from the vehicle.
¼ Check the following areas:
¼ Front window and body framework mating
portion
¼ Door mating portions
¼ Glass mating portions
¼ Rear quarter window mating portions
¼ Rear window and body framework mating

¼ If any dampness in the compartments is discov-
ered after the water has been applied, carefully
check all areas that may have possibly contributed
to the leak.
