Featured Replies

Well i'v searched on here and found various threads regarding the problem but none seem to have helped me :doh:

The prolem is the dreaded glovebox leak . . Iv removed my pollen fillter and dryed it off but everytime it rains more and more water keeps getting in.

Iv read that there are drains holes that get clogged up but noone seems to know exactly where they are :thumbdown:

So living in scotland i'd like to get the prblem fixed as soon as!

Anyone got any suggestions or a picture to show me where these drain holes are as iv looked but cant seem to find them lol.

Cheers

Theres some photos on here somewhere. I only know the one location!

just behind the air box, theres the ABS ecu I believe... silver box stuck on the bulkhead. Just under there, below the ecu running parallel with it, rather awkward to get to is a rubber flap. thats the one drainage hole I know of.

Give it a good ole fingering and you'll hopefully be rewarded with a gush :giggle:

Cheers bud . . Iv searched high and low for them and even looked for pictures on here but nothing lol.

Its snowing just now :thumbdown: so i'll give it a fingering tomoro :rofl:

If this fails . . might have to be a run to my loacal stealer :dull:

Here it is:

Is a photo in the first post.

You can't see the flap, but its almost impossible to take a photo of it without the air box out. its literally between the white thing with the black poles coming out (sorry, no idea what that is lol) and the ecu against the bulkhead. Be brave and just feel for it.

its probably clogged up with leaves. You may benefit from removing the scuttle panel cover, but you'll need to remove the wipers to do this which will probably require a puller (99% chance i will). The leaves collect in here, then bung up the holes.

i think someone else on here said they cheated and used a pressure washer to clear them out... might be worth a try but be careful

After about an hour searching for this phantom drain hole under the ecu which i just couldnt find :wonder: i decided to take my own approach lol . . .

I thought it would be a good place to start by removing the window wipers so that i could remove the plastic trim that runs along the bottom of the window, I removed both plastic caps then removed the 13mm buts that hold the wiper on. I then set up the jacking tool wich i had to jack the wipers off the sprocket. The i realised that Skoda window wipers would survive in almost any conditions :doh: they were on solid . . and i was putting a fair bit of pressure on them.

So before i broke part of my wiper i abandoned that plan lol . . . i figured out that there would be enough room to get my hand down (and put my little brothers skinny arms to good use) if i just pulled the plastic trim up so i did this :yes: .

And i for a few handfulls of dirt and leaves lol . . . .

But forfurther information i can conrifm that the actual drain drains the water into the passengers wheel arch . . i'll try get some pics up as soon as possible!!
