Hello all,

I have been running a new Fabia Vrs for about 6 months and overall I am made up with it, it has the driver seat creak problem but I will have that looked at when it is serviced. The problem I have at the moment is soaking wet carpet in the rear mainly on the passenger side. My drive is sloped so water is getting in somewhere and collecting in the rear.

Anyone else had a problem like this and found where the leak was?

its coming though the door pannel :-

I've had to get two of my doors resealed as water was getting in, apparently they are bad for it so the garage says. Not sure if that helps any.

Thanks for the info

You might find that it is the tube to the rear wash wipe that has split or broken somwhere I had this problem (I think it was caused by a severe frost) and it was causing a damp patch on the rear passenger footwell every time the rear wash was used.

The only solution was to replace the entire tube from the back to the front with somthing a bit stronger than the original rigid plastic one. I fixed it myself.

To be honest my car has has so many annoying faults like this and I have found every dealer that I have used to be utterly useless at diagnosing basic faults correctly but excellent at charging me for their misdiagnosis!
