But more important are the two drain holes at bottom of Plenum ( under plastic grills! These get blocked and can drown your main ECU. Get them checked ASAP. There is info on how to on here if you do a search Chris |

The upper drains which you refer to are a simple affair and simply drain into the wheel arch behind the liner a 10mm pipe bending spring is a good tool to use but really anything that will fit with reasonable ease is ok it is a round tube with a flattened end.

The drivers side one was fitted with a grommet on later cars due to project drive cost cutting. The tubes themselves can be removed from their position & cleaned. A common mod is to cut off the flattened part of the rubber tube, at the bottom end, prevents further blockages.

Don’t worry too much, your ecu is sealed and should t be harmed if it has been previously wet.
Always better to keep things dry though.
