Drivers Side Footwell Damp...

Post by Dog vs Car » Sat Nov 10, 2018 8:49 am

Any ideas where it’s likely to be coming from? I’ve cleared both scuttle drain off points that terminate in the wheel arch. Both were blocked with road grit, but still getting damp in there?!
Had a lovely crop of cress growing at one point! :roll:

Got the same problem with mine but in the passenger footwell (but mines LHD), so maybe same problem. Cars at MTM for other work but they will investigate the swimming pool in the footwell while its there. I'll update you if they find the cause.

Perfect, Thankyou. Have an inkling there is a loom and grommet situation in the A pillar that maybe a culprit? Xx

I know the c5 gets water in the front from the pollen filter leaking water, is C6 the same?
