Nice puddle in my 2001 Octavia

Featured Replies

The rear right-hand footwell keeps filling with 1-2" of water in recent heavy rain. I can't see any obvious leaks so where should I start to investigate this problem? Help!

Sit in it on a dry day and get someone to hose it down. The door rubber will be a suspect

or from the scuttle panel drains being blocked and water coming in via the main cable loom gromets and bonnet release cable grommet.

What door rubber and where do you look?

Looking to buy a new rubber door seal to make sure no water is getting in as I can see a little gathering at the bottom of the inner seal at the sill.

Is it the outer or the inner seals I need, both?

Where do I get them new online (part number?)?

Edited by tomah

Thats probably a dealer only part. Have you done the hose test to try and find where its coming in rather than just changing seals?

On Wheeler dealers they used a fog machine. worked pretty well!
