yellowdublupo Posted June 25, 2011 Report Share Posted June 25, 2011 Mine did this, basically you have drainage holes and this means they are blocked. I used a jet wash (very carefully) and you will see all the mud/ leaves etc come out from under your arch. Also try and cover the square on the right of your scuttle to stop water getting through to the interior. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rudaz Posted June 26, 2011 Report Share Posted June 26, 2011 theres no drainage whatsoever is there?! just gathers asif the car is on the wonkExactly. Gonna have a deek but I'm sure there is no drainage holes. Do we have a piccy of the holes? Danny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeA Posted June 26, 2011 Report Share Posted June 26, 2011 If your car is at a certain angle, the water doesnt run into the drainage holes and sits at that corner where there is no holes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Defcon5 Posted June 26, 2011 Report Share Posted June 26, 2011 Mine has this when I wash it, but not when it rains.Like you say Danny, I dont think there are any holes in that part - when you drive it sloshes about and goes down the other holes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon_273 Posted June 26, 2011 Report Share Posted June 26, 2011 There aren't any holes in that part of the scuttle. Mine only does it when parked on a slope (even a slight one).To solve it you just park the other way around Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarkStryder360 Posted June 26, 2011 Report Share Posted June 26, 2011 Happens to every Arosa/Lupo owner I have spoken too.Doesn't affect anything, just random poor car design. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobG Posted June 27, 2011 Report Share Posted June 27, 2011 Isn't that just above where the ECU sits? My guess is they probably didn't want water dropping directly onto the ECU/cables, hence no holes there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oaten Posted June 27, 2011 Report Share Posted June 27, 2011 Isn't that just above where the ECU sits? My guess is they probably didn't want water dropping directly onto the ECU/cables, hence no holes there.Its a shame they never thought about that when I had my MK3 polo water used to piss all over my ECU and sit in my battery try which rusted out.Also it happens on my lupo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess is they probably didn't want water dropping directly onto the ECU/cables, hence no holes there.The ECU is more towards the middle, but I think you're on to something as the air intake/pollen filter is right under there. If there were holes the heater may end up getting water in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
max West-York Posted June 28, 2011 Report Share Posted June 28, 2011 (edited) mine used to do this because the drainage holes behind the bay (and under the dash/windscreen area) where blocked with mud and leaves etcetc, just stick your fingers in and pull it out then give it a quick blast with the hose to clear out any debris, discovered this when my car used to steam up all the time in winter because it was getting into the heater intake! OOPS EDIT: there's one on each side just above the arch (you'll know if its blocked from just looking at it) Edited June 28, 2011 by max West-York Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
