Recently my car seems to draw water under the passenger seat. It is sometimes so much that you can hear it very clearly during braking and acceleration. It was eventually so much that the water stood on the carpet. No idea where the water may come from!
Can anyone help, please? The workshop seems to have no idea of what may lie there, when describing the phenomenon on the phone.

Hi Flash22
reg/year is 2007 and I will check whether I lose coolant (I don't think so but better check anyway)

Sounds like heater problem...

When the car is cold and you start it up, do you hear any

"splashing" sounds in your cabin and they stop afterwords???

If so, check heater & hoses...!

tks for coming back - but, no - no splashing noices to be heard. I have checked the coolant, everything is fine. The water quantity is far too much for any container in the car. And the water must come somehow from outside from a leak underneath the car. In dry weather the car dries out. As soon as it rains the passanger seat becomes soaking wet.
I don't have the facilities to look under tha car but have her booked in for next Tuesday. I only hope she doesn't tuen into a submarine until then.
Fear also that the carpet will start to rot if I can't get it dry!!!!
tks for any input!

does the car have a sunroof ? if so the drains and or pipes maybe blocked

a lot of cars have 8 litres of coolent if not more.

another way it could be getting is by a bung in the firewall is loose or missing/leaking

The black plastic panel under the wiper arms is where the
air is sucked into the car for the heater and the panel
under this has tiny drain holes if these become blocked
with leaves etc the water will get in via the two holes in
the bulkhead and then into the car
Let us know what they find as i have condensation problems
with my 2008 micra but cannot find any water in the car
