Ry4nC Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 Hey guys.Has anyone had their passenger side footwell swimming in water? It's becoming a pain in the rectum because on a cold day the condensation frosts over in the mb2... I'm also getting sick of waiting almost 20 minutes for it to de-mist.Anyway... I'm having difficulty locating the leak.. I think it is coming from behind the glovebox area but I can't be sure.Any help is appreciated!

0 MBFinlay Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 I'm having the same problem with MB6. It seems like a "type issue" with these. I have water in the footwell only when it rains hard while driving. Passenger side as well, behind the glove box. I'm 99% positive we have the same issue. Tell us if you find what causes it.

0 skymera Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 In my case the footwell was getting wet. Behind the glovebox was soaked and the car was extra steamy with the heating on. It was until I had water dripping on my shoe from the fuse box under the steering wheel I realised I had a problem. Under the plastic scuttle panel passenger side is a small drain for water to run down the wing and onto the floor. This is pretty narrow and gets blocked with crud. This causes a build up of water which when bad enough to overlfow into the heater vent and land in the blower motor. When you have the blower on to clear the windscreen or to keep your toesies warm, it blows all this water out through the pollen filter, this is where it drips down. An easy way to check is to reach behind the glove box and unclip the pollen filter clip at the bottom, pull it forward and you can just about get a digit or two in there. If the filter feels wet or you feel moisture, chances are your scuttle drain is blocked. Don't take this as Gospel, it's my 0.02 from my experiences. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
