How to prevent water from entering the tank of the Audi TT MK1

Model: Audi Tt 8N, MK 1 - Years 1998-2006
Part: Checks and maintenance

The youtuber, in this video, warns us of a potential problem that can affect all cars of this type, just as it affected his own. It is a small thing, but if not managed properly, you risk ending up like the protagonist of the video, who had to remove the rear seats and the car's tank to fix the problem of water in the tank. As we can see in the video, the problem is a small hole located laterally to the closure cap. This hole is used to drain the water that inevitably seeps through the edges of the horizontally placed cap on rainy days. If this hole gets clogged, as in the youtuber's case, then water leaks into the tank, causing serious effects. The advice is therefore to periodically check that the hole is clear, to avoid future problems.
