Hello,
I have had my 2010 estate for 6 years now, pretty much trouble free.
Mid summer during a heavy rainfall my wife was driving and I felt water drip onto my feet. As a result I did some research on here and removed the scuttle cover, checked and clean the drain holes. They were however clear.
Summer has come to an end and water is now freely flowing in through the housing.
I have done the following:
remove foam seal around air intake, silicone and refit: problem continued.
move position of horn to side of air take: problem continued.
Removed edge of of arch cover under front near side wheel and cleaned out leaves from within: problem continued
I am now out of ideas. It’s certainly worse when driving and taking roundabouts or hard rights, water literally pours out without the filter in.
Are there any enter points in the ducting between the housing and air intake?
can a leak elsewhere cause it to enter the ducts, ie windscreen or door seal. The car is a non sunroof model.
it’s going to be either a failed seal or debris blocking a drain hole I guess due to age. It needs sorting though as it’s soon going to fry my heated seat module in the passenger footwell :( furthermore the car is steaming up and smells.
