Just had the windscreen rplaced on my S4 and noticed that the area immediately below the screen by the ECU seems to have rather a lot of water in it, should there be drain holes here chaps and if so where, cause I can't see them. cheers

under the battery - it often gets clogged up, you need to take the battery out and then unblock - i have used compressed air to do that in the past or just a finger

Or you can remove it from underneath the car.

BTW, there is another drain plug somewhere on the bulkhead.

There are two drains on the B5.
One under the battery and the other under the servo.
Stick you finger in the "hole" to clear.

Very lucky to catch it in time before you get wet passenger side footwells ,where i am its been raining really bad lately

if you take out the rubber grometts this will never happen again

Take out the rubber grommets, and then cut the "flower" part of the grommet. So that way you still have the rubber grommet in place, so thus no rust issues, but water will still get through

Cheers chaps for all the advice, will sort it!

I clear mine twice a year, after a footwell full of water experience......

just found recently i seem to have a fair bit of rust in this area is that a comon area to get rust on a B5 or is it likely that sum one has had a batter leak/broken in ther it sux
