Leaking into footwell

[pullgees]

Mk2 2001 Got a leak behind the heater unit when it rains. So scuttle off then. What should I be looking for down there, wiper seals worn , missing grommets, is there a usual cause?

Make sure the drain holes are clear and clean, the middle one exits on the centre of the bulkhead in the engine bay at the bottom edge of the insulation and has a rubber flap on the end, make sure it's not blocked down there too. Also worth checking the grommets behind the passenger side wheel arch liner if the leak persists. There's a 'how to' in the guides section iirc

That's great thanks for your help.

Maybe leaking sunroof going down the a pillars and in to the footwell.

No, I've see it dripping behind the heater and from there it creeps under the carpet on the driver's side. It's not coolant.

This was on a Megane, and not a Clio but the principal will be the same. Unblock the drains, I ended up removing the rubber flap from the end...didn't really see the point in it

Hope its of some help

Done it. It was the central drain hole indeed. With the aid of a wire coat hanger opened up, a torch and a neck like an ostrich, I unblocked it. No leaks now
