Hi,

The carpet in the front and rear footwells on the passenger side of my 04 TD4 is soaking wet.

It's not oily or smelly, so I don't think it's coolant/antifreeze from the heater matrix.

Are there any obvious places where the car leaks? It's as wet in the rear as it is in the front, but the boot seems dry.

(Before anyone suggests that I Burn It, it's too damp, it would never catch fire!)

Thanks.

Rich

Have you checked the door seals?

Check the air filter where your passengers feet are. Water in there?

Hi, thanks for the replies.

Yes, have got a sunroof. Is there a drain or something that gets blocked?

Have tried to get at the pollen filter, but annoyingly, the sockets I need to undo the bolts are too thick to get into the recesses on the housing.

Have searched for the aircon drain, but embarrassingly I can't find it. I know where I'm supposed to be looking, but can't see it....

OK, little update. I can't see it because it's missing.

I can feel a hole in the bulkhead, but there's no hose there, I can wiggle my finger into the air conditioning box.

Any idea where I can get one? Do they just push on to the little plastic pipe which is currently flush with the bulkhead?

OK, update in case anyone else has this pipe missing and finds this thread.

A short length of garden hose (quite small diameter) heated in boiling water fits snugly onto the outlet of the air-con box.

No more wet feet for us.
