Trying to get to get to the bottom of water in my drivers footwell...
So far I've checked under the scuttle panel, around the fuse/connector box, the grommet for the bonnet release cable, and around the pollen filter area and it all looks dry. I took the wheel arch liner out and poured water down the windscreen (drivers side) and it comes out the bottom of the car, and poured water into the scuttle bottom, so that it exits out the hole going in to the inside of the wing, and it also comes out the bottom. So I've put all that back together..
I've now started pulling the carpet up to see what's going on underneath there and so far what I've found is a red pipe running fore and aft, which has a join initially near the bonnet release lever and then it runs down and aft into a wiring loom after about 20cm. The wiring loom tape is wet! And it's wet following it back for another 20cm or so, until about half way back ref seat position, approx. There is a bracket on the floor of the car there. The loom is then dry.
Could this pipe, not sure what it's for???, be the culprit? (I thought the rear washer pipe ran down the passenger side?) is there a join in amongst the first bit of this loom?
Any other pointers?
My next step is to take the seat out and lift more of the carpet.
As a note, the water seems to be pooling pretty much in the middle of the front footwell...
Any help would be great!
It won't defeat me!!!!!
