biiiiig water leak in passenger footwell...

Featured Replies

Got a big leak coming in passenger footwell, it was sopping wet this morning,

I did the hose test and there was water coming over the bottom of my door seal (i could see it from inside the car)

Is this my door seals that need replacing?

or something else?

Check to see if there's any breaks in the foam insert behind the doorcard - mine's ripped and the silicone/sealer at the bottom has been torn away so it pours in over the door seal!

Changed the door seal today, No change, still sodden.

Just waiting for the membrane from a dealer now, (£8 a side, not too bad to be fair)

if that doesnt work I'm stumped :/

Bent door ?

I've got a mate who used to work for renault, So he got in touch with the parts dept. Who then got in touch with the VW main dealership, Who are sending me them down from Scotland!

Maybe windscreen seal mate, I've got that problem with mine and in runs down behind the dash and into the passenger footwell, if you can see it coming in right next to the heater blower or underneath it, then that may be same place,

Could be that, bitch of a job though!
