Water in passenger side footwell during rain

Could be similar to my findings with an A6, which I reported in thread titled "A6, 2000, 1.8T, Water ingress, Wipers, Windows & other Woes...." which you could search for in this group's archives.

Thanks, I will look in the general area of the battery.

Sure enough, when I looked under the battery, there was a bloody big hole rusted right through to the passenger compartment. I thought these bodies were rustproof. Who'd have thunk it? LOL

Almost certainly due to acid leakage/spillage. The body may be reasonably well protected against normal corrosion, but it's more difficult to protect against acid!

I'd second that. Failure to deal with spilt acid from a split battery resulted in the demise of my much loved Audi 100. (hint. the steering rack mounting is pretty close. Well spotted by the MOT tester)
