Sun roof drain pipes / leak thread pt 2

[Steve]

as some of you know i have a leak somewhere on my car and water puddles up after heavy rain in the passenger foot well only...
literally just had the headlineing pulled back and not a drop of water.

where to the pipes lead to? where do they exit is my main question! how can i get to the end of the pipe? :afro:

otherwise it looks asthough its going to be a full day taking the dash board out which isnt really what i want to do! the soundproofing on the bottom of the passenger piller gets soaked, so it could be running from higher up.
bare in mind i have took my carpet and sound prrofing out of the floor. totally puzzled now, i havent drove the car either for a day so it floods when sitting aswel. and its a lot of water :panic:

i did mine mate here are some pics: they come out at the bottom of the front wheel arches


here is the left side drain pipe, i check to see if it was blocked but it was fine, its a real bad design as the hole is not at the lowest point of the corner meaning that it holds a little bit of water and it just sits there so it was a little shitty so i cleaned it up and then undersealed it,

cheers, been loking tonight, doesnt seem to be the sunroof, its coming from higher up the dash i think.... could be the pollen filter! someone suggested heater matric but there is a load of water and the level in the radiator is the same.... also it smells like dirty rain water! only does it when raining heavy!

[stevenet15]

dry it out remove some trims then sit inside and get some one to pour water over your car and try see where its coming from

did this hosed it down for 30 mins and no water even came in! its just when it rains really heavy for ages it gets wet! thinking its the pollen filter now :afro:

[Saxo-Slag]

How do you clean those little drain bits. Is there a special tool

[sim69er]

if it was the pollen filter it would be on the drivers side as thats where the pollen filter is, does the water only come in when parked up?

[mad_dog]

[Steve]

leaks are a fucking bitch, i have gave up smoking my headlights be done tomorrow ahah

[Steve]

got my smoked headlights on, went to the car, its been raining not much, and there is water in again..... where the hell is it coming from? never got time to take it apart. it comes from the passenger side and leaks behind the dash somewhere and i cant see where from??? :panic: how do i get to the bottom of the drain pipe?

oh and the water is also going behind the bulk head sound proofing!

it mite be worth looking at under the wiper motor on the passenger side there is a hole that runs water into the arches and there is a small lip on it hit this with a chisel to remove the lip so the water can run out more freely thats what i did to mine and touch wood its worked
