Leak To Passenger Side Footwell

[bentwagon]

Couldn't search well as on mobile for next few days. Anyway, during a drive through a mega downpour this morning I noticed a small puddle forming in the passenger foot well near the kick panel (left hand side of foot well). Has anyone had this before and/or knows where its from and how to fix? Cheers.

sure its not a leaking heater core, situated inside the dash?

when they let go the coolant leaks onto the passenger footwell.

Pretty sure its not coolant but maybe I will scratch n sniff to make sure.

dry it out for a day and see if it happens next time you run the car?

it should be impossible for road-water to get to the footwell, usual suspect is the heatercore

c34's have a common problem with the front windscreen clips leaking on the lhs, mine does it when it rains really hard.

there was a thread about it awhile ago.

use silicon

i used gasket goo (didn't have anything else and i thought it would work) but it still leaks a little

you can tell because if you pull the blower motor off (3 bolts on the round thing under the glovebox) there will probably be water in there

JUst found a part of the rubber seal on ym windscreen is broken.

Could the water pooling in the rear footwell be related to this?

[Sunkist]

doubt it. theres another seal under buddy.

lol that rubber bit would be like that from when you did the boost sensor. just pushes back it.

Both my S1 have "water stains"???? on/in the sun visors. There are no leaks ATM but think in the past water got in around the windscreen.

But where I don't know.

Now I have an R30 that floods in the drivers foot well. A 74/2011 flood. I have searched high and low for the entry point, and now believe the water is coming in under the chrome trim along the gutter. This lets the water flow down the roof lining trim and the roof lining itself. This then cascades down to the D/S floor but it is difficult to actually pin it down. Funny though, since I sussed this out it has not rained up here for a few weeks I dont want to put a hose on it as it may well give a false impression.

Hope I fixed it, heres the pic.

Pretty much fell out of the hole (green plug as seen in pic) and after taking the bottom out of the heater blower, which was full of water - realised I could put my hand right up the vent and to the plug hole. So I cleaned up the hole and green plug, glued it in with guttering silicon and see how it goes. Noticed there was a foam piece under the black cover (can see a shiny bit to the right of green plug) it was wet too so I took it off, hope this wasnt a bad idea??

Thanks for all your help.

Had the same problem with my stag in the drivers side, behind the front wheel liner there is a grommet if they aren't in properly they will get water in them but only with heavy rain, mine was busted due to the ebc vac line so I sealed it shut and no more water. I imagine there is a matching grommet in the passenger side.

Fixed it. Was coming thru the door trim not the rybbers.
