My previous car was a Jaguar which developed a leak from the windscreen scuttle area causing really bad flooding of the passenger side footwells, I had to remove the seats and carpet to dry it out - a total pain!

As this is my first superb I just wondered if there were any rain drains I need to keep an eye on to make sure they don’t block up or any other area to check (AC drain?),  I never want to have to dry out car carpets again!

any help or advice gratefully received…….

I don't think the Mk III Superbs have given too much trouble with water leaks when compared to the Mk Is, many of which leaked around the pollen filter and into the passenger well.

 

If you have a sunroof, you'll need to check the drains as these can cause leaks into the car if they become blocked.

Part of the maintenance checks for the mk3 is clearing the scuttle panel area, but it’s not as easy as other VAG cars (Passat b5/b5.5) as you need to remove the wipers to get it off.

 

So I’m living dangerously, I’m sure I read Skoda should do it as part of the servicing but I don’t think they do

thank you that’s good to know, I don’t have a sunroof, thanks again.
