Hi all, After several weeks of bad misting up, I discovered (a week ago now) a puddle in the rear left footwell.
I've dried it out with a combination of sponge and fan heater but no idea where the water came in.
Facts are:
- Also less severe damp under rear seat on same side - (probably wicking up from the puddle via carpet)
- Puddle seemed to be clear water - not coolant.
- No water marks on the head lining.
- No evidence of water in boot (trunk).
- No damp in either of the front footwells, or in rear footwell on the other side.
- No apparent damage to door seals.
- I don't recall leaving a door or roof open in the recent past.
- Tissue stuffed up rear heating duct on that side has stayed dry (thus far)
- Partial lifting of carpet and good feel underneath has not (yet) revealed an obvious hole.
- Glass granules under carpet indicates accident damage during previous ownership.
- Puddle has not (yet) re-formed since drying out (about 4 days now).
- It has rained since drying out, but the car has not been driven in really wet conditions again yet.
This all suggests to me a leak in the floorpan. Could date back as far as November 23rd when I drove through some pretty big puddles when visiting my sister in the wilds of Berkshire.
Anyone else had this? Is this model prone to taking in rain/puddle water? Any ideas where I might start looking?
Any help much appreciated Adrian Hampshire
