Major leak behind passenger side dash!!

[piranhamatt]

I had a leak so I tried to cover everything in the roof.
No longer leaks out top but there's loads of it which pours onto passenger floor from behind dash! Where does this come from!?
I suspect engine bay as the bit alongside wiper motor seemed wet but I'm unsure..

There is a drain hole each end of the scuttle panel which can get blocked,i`d check that.

Get a metal coat hanger, break it and push it down the drain holes dude.

[piranhamatt]

The scuttle panel is the area behind windscreen with the big holes in it- right?

I'll give it a go. Cheers guys

can some one put a pic up of where these drain hole are as I think mine are blocked too thanks

[saladdodger]

I believe there is 1 at each end, bottom corner, this is the right side as you look at the front of car

There is 1 at each corner yes.:y:

Hmm mine seemed pretty clean, could see the floor. am i looking at correct ones?

also another thing, it may be from sunroof or aerial though i think.. despite having blocked it all up.. it seems to have water going down the a-pillars behind the dash onto floor.
seals?

Heater Matrix?

Heater Matrix?

I didn`t mention this 1st of in case of scaring the op lol.:y:

[opee]

ive the same problem. coming in from behind the dash somewhere :wall:

took passenger airbag out and pulled carper forward to get a look. no idea. mines coming in when i put a hose around the A pillar.

if you find it let us know.

[piranhamatt]

I haven't had any problems after removing the A pillars :S

someone care to expain this heater matrix fix?

[Luke93]

Either a new heater matrix or new pipe depends where it is broke ( if that is the problem ) it's behind the dash not a easy job my mate done mine and said he will never do one again

[piranhamatt]

I think it's a roof leak. Have the a pillars removed and water pours down so I suspect the dash leak is due to them- and I removed the vts ones as it poured through alarm holes..

Do the runners on the roof have a problem for clogging and leaking somewhere. I've taped everything up on the roof lol so I can take the headlining off this weekend and work on it

Think you have the same problem i had. all i needed to do was pull back the passeneger side headlining then unplug the black drain pipe and put some water in to see if any came out under the car if not then just blow through the pipe until it unblocks.
hope that make sense mate good luck :y:

[piranhamatt]

Around the sunroof is te plastic grey trim. I believe the deals were worn away on mine so I removed it all and cleaned it all out then sealed it back down. No problems yet

[Geist]

what's the leak like? a noticeable drip you can see when it rains? and damp spot at the top of the passengers side windscreen pillar and the length of it? if so, it's the same problem i'm having and in the middle of fixing.
