I have a 2001 Skoda Fabia Comfort 1.4.

About a month ago when it was raining, water started coming in on the passenger side, and pooling on the passenger side floor. I took out the glove compartment to see where it was coming in. It drips down from somewhere behind the heating fan. Water comes in if it's raining, if I wash the car, or even if I pour water down the front around the area of the windscreen wipers. Has this happened to anyone else?

Welcome to Briskoda. Water leaks are fairly common in the Fabia. Yours sounds as if it might be coming from the pollen filter due to it not having been seated properly. Try Search - Fabia pollen filter - and you should get plenty of results including the one below:

When people talk about air-conditioning do they mean the manual heater and fan, or do they mean climate control? I have the first two, but I don't have climate control. In other words, do all Skoda Fabias have a pollen filter?

The parts list shows that part is fitted to cars with and without aircon.

Success! I took it to a Skoda dealer today, was able to explain exactly what was going wrong and what needed fixing (which I wouldn't have been able to do without your advice), they agreed with the diagnosis, and it was fixed for 50 Euro (about £34). BTW specific problem was blocked bulkhead drain leading to water coming through the pollen filter. Now back in the land of the dry.

Thanks a mill!
