VlatcheLupo Posted April 25 Report Share Posted April 25 I noticed water on the floor rubber, but on the co-driver side. Is it possible to come from the air vents? And if so, how? And should it leak (i suppose not)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have plastic cover over cabin filter? And a lot of dirt around cabin filter in scuttle panel can make exactly the same result. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Opened the bonnet but on the left side where is the co-driver i didn't see much dirt. Maybe I don't look in the right place Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VlatcheLupo Posted May 19 Author Report Share Posted May 19 (edited) After an extensive raining, the water spilling on the co-driver side showed up It looks like it was collecting somewhere inside the car on the right side, and when i moved the car by driving, it spilled trough the air vents? The thing is, i didn't see water untill the car moved... Could the accidental shutting down of the car completely be related to the water collecting somewhere inside the engine bay and touching some electrical components?

lupo 1.7sdi Posted May 20 Report Share Posted May 20 That's exactly what happened to me a few days ago. The drains in the compartment under the windshield (where the cabin filter and ECU are located) were clogged. The drains are in the corners on the left and right towards the front. They are unblocked with a thicker wire. Inserted there, it must reach the wing area. I was really wondering why water appears under the car when the weather was good. The drains were not completely clogged and when they were completely clogged, I had exactly the same experience as you: after a few km of driving, water appeared on the passenger side. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
