Where can I find such an item, or was it simply made by a contributor to the forum? Thanks.It’s a tray that sits on top of the engine and diverts the ingressing rainwater away from the fuel injectors View attachment 925260

Sorry for late reply but thank you for taking the time to respond. Very much appreciated.

The issue is caused by an engine air valve which in motorhomes used periodically causes condensation build up. There is a Ford software patch to permanently close the valve without any problems. If you don't use your moho all the time best practice is to drive it once a month for a minimum of 15 minutes at 2000 rpm. The cures it.Update, injector 1 replaced by Ford under warranty, thankfully. Asked for an explanation, was told that the problem was due to the long time that the base vehicles spend sitting around between being manufactured and then converted. I then said that this could be understandable if this was the first time the injector had been replaced but this was the second time. Was then told that I need to be driving more to stop this from happening as the injector tips corrode if not used enough. Haven't managed to find any mechanic who supports this statement. Also was told that fuel additives can cause this problem. BS in my opinion.
Doesn't work. I know hire companies that have spent a fortune fitting this only to have their injectors fail on multiple vans. Water irrigating through the rain scuttle is caused by a poor fitting screen surround trim... it doesn't get anywhere near injectors on an Ecoblue Panther engine, they're buried deep centrally in the engine block. It was a big issue on the older Duratec engine where the injectors are housed exposed at the rear of the block. It was also an issue on PSA cars & vans too when they shared the engine until 2017... The Citroen Grand Picasso & Pug Partner were renowned for it.Thank you.

The other issue is with the BCM. Condensation irrigates down inside the windscreen through the dashboard and damages it. Ford have a moho specific cowl to deflect it or use of an external thermal screen cover sorts it too. If you have hab' air con use this as it'll dehumidify the whole van interior. Internal Remis blinds are simply for privacy, they offer zero thermal protection.
Different engine, you have the Duratorq, the Puma, which was also used in the Peugeot Boxer. This engine is renowned for injector issues due to their placement high up under the rain scuttle. The Citroen & Pug SUV's, people carriers and the smaller vans also suffer.I have a mk 7 2.2l fwd engine, does the air valve you refer to above exist in my engine, if so whereabouts is it located ?
Thanks.

Easy fix as it is caused by the wiper motor fixing holes for either left or right hand drive being unused & allowing the water that gets under the plastic trim of the lower windscreen to drip down & fill up around the injectors.on a left hand drive it is usually 1& 2. I just sealed the spare holes off & no more water except exiting wher it should on either side.This engine is renowned for injector issues due to their placement high up under the rain scuttle.
