Water coming from somewhere!

Post by Archangel »

Hi folks, ive got a 6n 5 door hatch and ive got water in my boot area under the spare wheel and i cant figure out where the hell its coming from.

My boot carpet was wet, originally thought it was a spill but after more research i discovered the 3 rubber plugs in the floor pan under the spare wheel were all rusty around them.

I popped the plugs out knocked off any loose rust and dried the whole area, then I duct taped the crap out of the holes (until i get a chance to cut the rust out and fill the holes properly).

Anyway, i drive to college today (dry weather) and when i get there i check the boot floor again and theres another small pool of water under the spare wheel.

I cant see any holes or obvious leaks or anything but i got maybe 10ml of water in the car over night and it wasnt raining and i didnt use the windscreen washers.

Any suggestions on what it might be or where i can look?

There's an l Bend somewhere in the boot for the jet on the rear wiper. Very likely to have popped off, lots of people on here will tell you. Check that mate!
