I worked at Renault as a tech for around 1 year, Saw this a couple of times with the Renault Traffic, same van same engine, I think the rubber seal where the scuttle pannel meets the bonnet is typical french poor design and leaks, eats the engine loom away.

I think Vauxhall are just using the screen as an excuse TBH.
