Anyone experienced water trickeling down the inside of the wheel arch only when driving in wet weather ? Making a puddle by my feet. The windscreen is perfect so it+s coming from somewhere and theres a lot of it !

I´ve had to pull up the carpet as it was saturated. Maybe it#s coming in through that black air vent piping or through a rust hole. Has anyone experienced anything like this and how did you sort it.

Cheers

Yeah, i looked behind the lining of the dash area, prodded it with my finger and it went through. It was the top of the inner wheel arch that was the problem, underneath the scuttle

Rust around the air vents in the inner wing is the usual cause unfortunately

Leak through the steering column hole - fit a ball joint dust cover between the rack and the floor.
