I've got water in the passenger footwell, towards the front on the left near the door.
It's ontop of the carpet/rubber mats and it's like a pond in there at the mo!

There is also water under the plastic trim that goes along the door seal up towards the dash , and a few drops of water on the carpet.

Did anyone find the cause and cure for this??

thanks

Had your car serviced recently?

Your Pollen Filter Cover is probably incorrectly fitted or broken, causing water to run into the car through teh heater assembly. The cover is part of the plastic scuttle panel below the windscreen and can be removed by taking out the 4 screws holding it to the rest of the panel, visible when you open the bonnet.

It's on 24k now and its let water in before, think it did it before service once too.
I'll have a look at the pollen filter this aft.

I've had water in the same place on the drivers side, but thats bone dry today! (drivers side does it when parked nose down and water builds up against the lower door seal, might be a similar problem on the passengerside now!)

I've had it too, driver's foot well fills after heavy rain if its parked facing down hill. Dealer cleared sunroof drain hoses (with an airline) and its been fine since.

I don't have a sunroof on mine and i've had the scuttle pannel plastic up and it's all clear under there. And my pollen filter is fine! I drowned the front of the car with water and there were no leaks at all!!


It looks like waters running down the door seal and getting trapped by the rubber bit that is under the door at the front edge and somehow this is allowing the water to build up and get over the door seal and in to the car!. I've recreated it by spraying water at the passenger window for 30mins (ie heavy rain) and it results in water droplets rolling over the seal and the sill and down on to the mat!!

It depends how the cars parked as well, if it's nose down on a slope it'll do it, and if the cars on a tilt to either side then one side will do it. Does need very heavy rain though!.

As it's an 03 plate do you have any warranty left? Might be worth trying to get all the rubber replaced.

possibly could be windscreen as mate of mine had this problem took the dash out and was leakin from windscreen

I know the Seat Leons had a problem with thier door seals which were tapping water which leaked it

Windscreens fine, i drowned the car from different positions just to check this. It's defo the door seals and they are in 100% condition and not marked or damaged. Dealers had a look, and i've got to agree with them that changing the seals won't make any difference, but they'll do em when it's in for it's next service if i want, only done it 3 times in 2 years when its rained really hard and the cars been parked nose down on a slope.

Check the intregrity of the seal around the metal panel holding the window reg. It has happened before, where the seal is not too good (post window regulator changes) and it gets in behind there and out from behind the actual door card.

Cheers stokeballon , i'll have a closer look at that at the weekened

Silly question but is your rear washer still working, mines seemed to lose pressure and i traced this to the hose join behind the carpet in the passenger footwell, VW replaced (or said they did) said hose and 6 months later it seperated again....when i checked it i found it had been tie wrapped, this time i used good old superglue..... problem sorted...

 I have this problem too..Noticed it recently

Water in passenger footwell - no where else.

Have changed the pollen filter housing and filter.

Have sealed the inner pass side door card with silicon.

Thing is - Am fairly sure a puddle appears in the pass. side, when it has not been raining and concerned this may be something more sinister/expensive. Havent used the air con for a while either.

Any ideas guys would be great - thankyou.
