Michael. 2313 Report post Posted September 3, 2011 So.... I took my carpet out to do some unrelated work this afternoon. Upon taking out the passenger foot well section of the carpet I came to find the foam underlay was completely soaked, so much so you could squeeze and water would almost gush out. I couldn't be any wetter! Interestingly I had the carpet out this time last year and it was perfectly dry in that section. Any ideas what is going on here? My assumption there are block drain holes - but where? Has anyone else experienced this? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Might be worth checking the secuity of your heater pipes, but you would know if it was a coolant leak by the smell i guess. I would clean the drains out, get the carpet out before it festers then water the car with the hose pipe to find your leak. Might be worth getting the DME (engine unit) out and taking the cover off the check for water ingress too (anti static strap suggested) as this is an expensive unit and problems can usually be avoided.
