jalesi2001 Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 It'll probably be where your air come in the cabin. To get to this, remove the wipers and plastic trims under the wiper arms. On the passenger side, you will see a rectangular opening, this is where the air enters your cabin. You could try to seal the opening around the edge of the opening, but to do this properly, it will involve removing the airbox completely. You can do this without removing the dash, but its a bit of a pig of a job.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jalesi2001 Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 Remove the glovebox and support bar, then get your head under and undo the fixings holding the heater motor to the airbox. Unplug the motor and remove. Then find the fixings that connect the airbox to the bulkhead and undo them, it will be a bit of a pig to remove but is do-able. Yeah, you can use the car, but you will have no heater, so if the windscreen mists up......!!! Check what Rich said first, might save you a lot of hassle!

Rich.Ok a big thanks to all for info touch wood i have stoped leak (i will go out now and it be piss wet lol ). It seems that it was dirt and a leaf just under the trim so the water would run in and across back on it's self. And by chance drip will more than drip right into the corner of the air intake . Big thumbs up (better not be wet ) the drain holes were clear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
