Hi there, Sorry for the late reply. From the photos I have attached you can see that the wire wants to be a decent length. I couldn't say how much of the wire I used, i just poked it down there as far as it would go really. Assuming your water ingress is coming form the same location as mine, you wi...

Hi, The trick is to pull the rubber bung out in the panel that I showed on my first post and get some wire to poke down there. Poke the wire down as far you can get it and just riddle it about. Perhaps I was lucky and just managed to hit the spot in the first couple of minutes but just keep poking a...

Yeah, that might be best,
Thanks

Might work, but space may be a bit cramped, I don't know how flexible these things are but they defiantly wouldn't fit through the square hole I was using, maybe the larger round one but if it could get around such a sharp corner, I don't know. The other thing is I don't know exactly where the end o...

Ok, like what?
Could I add water with the drain cleaner to dilute it?

Hi all, I have some great news. I think I may have fixed my problem, touch wood. Last night when I got home from college I decided to have a poke around with some wire which I have found. I first started poking around a spot, sort of between the sill and floor pan, where I noticed seems to stay wet ...

Hi all, Today almost had the wing off but decided after taking of the wheel arch cover plastic thing found that I can almost see everything I may need to and didn't go any further. To me it looks like everything behind the wheel arch is all part of the "outer skin" as I've been calling it....

Hi,
Did you ever fix your problem as I am having the same thing with mine?

Hello again all, I've come to the conclusion that I'm going to have to pull the wing off of the car. This is all well and good but I've read in multiple places that heat is needed to melt some adhesive or something. That is alright but I don't know what would be the best thing to use to replace this...

Hmmm, interesting. Thank you for finding that. I'm thinking I might need to check my aircon intake cover seal now. The only trouble is I cant identify this from the photos. Is it shown in this photo https://www.clubpolo.co.uk/uploads/monthly_2016_09/IMG_20160910_123036.jpg.92bb7c6e6b219aaf4ec4f994ab...

Your right, the problem is finding what feeds the bung hole. It is entirely possible the water is coming from the side, I wouldn't say the door seals but maybe somewhere behind the wing. I'm pretty certain that section is doubled skinned though. And to repeat was has been said, has anybody else got ...

Hi, The car will leak when it is sat or moving. There is no water behind the dash, only the bottom of the carpet gets wet. Water does not seem get into the car elsewhere and I have proved this by stuffing a tissue in the hole and using it to direct water into a bowl. The bowl will contain the water ...

Hi again, After having the windscreen replaced the car is still leaking. I now know for definite that the water is not coming form the windscreen seals or any of the drains under the scuttle. Therefore I am still open to any ideas you may have as I am at a complete loss as to how the water is gettin...

Hi, the car does not have a sunroof, so cannot be the sunroof drains. I did have it at the local "VW specialist" garage and they couldn't come up with anything and suggested that the only way that water could get into the section it is doing is through the windscreen seals so today I am ha...

Maybe that could be it but I wouldn't know where to start. I can weld, but wouldn't have a clue on what seams need to be welded and what don't. This morning at about half 7 I noticed that water was again standing behind the hole. And I'm sure it didn't rain in the night. The only thing that would pr...
