Leaking Bellows: Installed since October 2023 Only

[From tent to van]

Not sure if it’s glued, can’t tell. I didn’t take any pics of my 03S fabric either so it may be no different. Will see what happens in the wet I guess.

Hello- I too have leaking bellows having collected the van beginning of December. I have 03S bellows.
Wondered if anyone has tested their 04S bellows yet?

Okay so they aren't the very latest so may that explains it. I think they need to be more recent that 9th November 2023 to have all mods included. Have a look through the other thread...

Just had new bellows fitted in by 2021 van, 04S on the ticket. Vw said it’s been thoroughly wetted and all ok. Fingers crossed it is now.

Hello, just thought I would post an update. Had Cali new April 23. Bellows leaked. Replaced. New set leaked worse than original. Had to wait quite a while for ‘new’ design to arrive. Fitted last week. Tested in rain yesterday. Leaking, drivers seat saturated. Hi hum! Will update on what dealership suggest.

Everyone else will ask, so I'll get in first - what was the version (e.g. 03S) on the tag and the date on the tag? Can you share a photo of it?

Yes, just because the dealer says its the 'new' version don't believe it until you see the tag with your own eyes. Most dealers have absolutely no clue.

I have just had new bellows 04S 22/11/2023 manufacture date and they didnt leak after 6 hrs heavy rain. I have changed my vote to reflect this.

That's not good! It's the "right" date too. Where did it leak from? Did you take any photos?

 

[GreenMissile]

Any significance that there is no “A” sticker on the tag?

Do you have the separate A sticker too?
