Title: Found a leak
Post by: sychosis on 27 April 2012, 08:36: Came out to go to work this morning, noticed cd player wire sticking out under glovebox, went to tuck it back and came out with wet hand :angry:. What usual suspects should I be looking for? Windscreen, pollen filter etc?

Cheers

yes

Also worth checking the drains in the scuttle (where the ECU and windscreen wiper motors are)
