You could say from the pic I've a small leak, I've checked the bulk head and the door sinks, the water is coming down the rear wheel arch, anyone know where it's coming from?

A common problem by all acounts - check the washer bottle lines for the rear window - these are prone for popping off and soaking the boot area - from what I recall

must be a optional extra from skoda on vrs's to get a swimming pool, sorry to hear of your misfortune

I recently had the same problem drivers side front and rear footwells were so flooded I had to bail out the water with a jug and then spend several days mopping up the residue. At first I assumed the leak was from the boot, but not so, it was infact feom below the "A" pillar drivers side.

At the bottom of the "A" pillar where it meets the scuttle pannel the water runs down and runs down onto the road, trouble is that the area between the inner wing and the plastic wing protector becomes blocked.

Get a watering can and pour some water at the base of the "A" pillar, you should then see the water running through the carpet just behind your accelerater pedal, get the inner wing area cleaned out and the problem should be resolved.

I hope that helps

Cheets Ian I've already seal up the scuttle panel it's coming in from above the back wheel arch.

how far up is that coming from, can you try to remove the plastic sculpted panel that covers the area (the bit you have moved already) so we can see exactly where it starts?

its likely to be (if the water inside is at the bottom of the door opening apeture) from the door seal, or bad window scraper and leaky door skins, if its coming from higher up, then hmmm, thats a tough one..

will have a think!

washer jet line runs on the passenger side, so its not that.

thats a lot of water by the way, to dry properly will take ages, i took my carpet and sound deadening out as it was similar and it literally dripped out for ages when hanging to dry.

skoda seem to like making leaky cars!

I tell you what guys, its no fun having that happen! Blissfully unaware of this issue so I will be adding this to the maintainance rejeem so to speak : )

I feel for you buddy. I had a leak in rear tailgate, checked everything and eventually found it to be a poor weld on the roof under the black roof trim. Very hard to find had to replicate it to find it. Sealed and all good now.

I stupidly left all 4 windows down the other day and it chucked it down. Luckily i went out to bring something in from boot(left the wife in their:) and noticed windows open and nice soaking wet dash, doors and pockets rear seats and carpet. Took days to dry and still smells damp now. Learnt that lesson...

Is window auto closure standard? Mine has that.

No not std as far as I know. I activated mine. Although is the Reason for the wet interior as when you use remote you have to keep finger on button until fully closed and I sometimes walk away from car using remote closes doors ok but you can go out of range quicker for windows closure.

lock mine and they all just close, though I think the alarm is after market.

Just update this, the leak was coming from the sunroof drain pipes located at the sunroof, and this will be an issue with all mk1 octavia's with sunroofs cause the seal on the pipe fails after time.

Were the pipe seal fails is at the sunroof, its an easy fix. Strip down headliner pull drain pipe off seal with Tiger Seal or Tech 7 and the job is done.

This fault can fill any of the foot wells with water depending on which way you park your car and if one pipe is leaking the chances are the are all going to be leaking.

Nice to hear you got it fixed, Same thing happened on friends VRS with his sunroof. The fact that you have tiger sealed up the drainage , does this now mean you will get water flowing some where it is not supposed to??

I assume he means re-make the drainpipe joint with tiger seal rather than block the drain pipe with tiger seal....
