There is a short piece of tubing that comes out at a slight angle under the rocker panel about mid-passenger door (not sure of the driver's side?) what is it?  |
Theres a piece of tubing that drains the Hirschmann electric antenna, on the drivers side I don't know about one mid door though
Battery acid eats the paint then the water that collects from a plugged drain will rust. A good coat of primer is recommended at that stage, plus preventing acid from starting all over again.
One thing that causes the battery to dump acid is overfilling it then charging it or overcharging.
I try not to fill them as a habit to keep the fluid topped up, you just want it to not be down to or below the top of the plates.
And I use a sheet of BatteryMat under the battery to absorb any acid that might accumulate, its a neat product but be forewarned that the hold down clamps won't fit well with the Battery mats they sell as they are a tad too thick so the threaded studs on the clamps won't stick up far enough to put a nut. There's a way to work around, I used a thin fender washer bent to fit it does the job fine.
