removed battery, drain grommet was clogged up with leaves dirt etc all sorted now takes about half an hour no condensation inside car now job done

Good stuff, think mine needs done too....

Been there got the t-shirt - my Skoda dealer took the bungs out and told me it was fixed, only for me to find two other ways water was coming in - the pollen filter seal (yours is probably almost disintegrated, mine was at 5 years old) and the driver's door.

 

Do yourself a favour and check under the carpet a few times to see if you have any water - you really won't feel it on the top of the carpet until the car has officially become a submarine...!

 

You probably ought to do the pollen filter seal too as it will get you eventually... just a matter of time with it I'm afraid, it is such a poor design.

Agreed - I have just bought an 07 2.5V6  Elegance - only been serviced by Skoda dealers. When I took it to my local 'man' for a checkover the plenum chamber was  wrist deep in gunge and the pollen filter seal disintegrated. Both have now been done properly. There were also half a dozen fault codes and the front pads almost out............ the car was only serviced in April (and 2k miles since) (the door hinges were  nicely greased though......................)

 

It will be nice when it's up to standard, though
