Hello all,
I am aware this topic has been discussed before. However the suggested fixes have not worked for my leak.
On recently cleaning out my octavia it would seem a small pond has developed in the boot, were the spare wheel sits.
My first course of action was to dry out the boot. Then on to the "fixes"
No. 1. Check washer pipe that sits behind boot lining on the passengers side.
Result - pipe attached at elbow and no sign of water leak at joint. I do however have water behind the boot lining on the left near the wires etc.
No. 2. See if boot seals are full of water.
Result - boot seals were indeed full of water, as advised cut holes of the underside of the seal which has allows water to drain away.
And that's it so far gentlemen. Went back to inspect today, sadly still water getting in, pooling in boot and also wet behind boot lining on the left as you look into the boot.
Any further suggestions that have resolved this issue for other octavia drivers would be most welcome. Without being rude im not after guesses, I just want solutions that have worked for people in the past to resolve this issue once and for all.
A list form of potential problem areas and fixes would be spectacular if anyone could provide such information.
Cheers fellas
Luke
