Hi All,

I have a wet footwell (considerable amount!) off side front and rear and also under rear seat in a recess where the seat sits, its not wet any where else 🤔 can anybody shed some light on this water leak issue? It's going garage tomorrow for some other work but thought I'd ask..... cheers in advanced

Fresh water or coolant (have you checked level)?

Seems like fresh water Alb

In large quantities, I'd say the most likely source was a leaking windscreen or door seal.

There has been rather a lot of rain lately.

Have you checked your spare wheel well. Usual leak at the rear can fill it and then it floods forward when you brake....

^^^^^^^^^^^^^
What he says, really common on mk3, air vents behind bumper allow water in, which eventually fills the wheel well which then spills over.
Lots of you tube vids on it.
Fixed the wife's mk3 with a tube of clear silicone and some tools.
There is a bung underneath the car at the rear on each corner, remove it, if water comes out that's your problem

Also check the rubber seal, where the wiring runs from the tailgate to the body, lift up the seal and check for muck, give it a good clean and a smear of silicone.
