open up your bonnet and have a look at the back left under that plastic cover. might have a rust hole. be brave and look

[Veedubgt18v]

or it could be something simple like a missing grommet in the firewall, or you have got a leaky windshield, either by rust or a bad fit. or rust in the firewall caused by heat from the exhaust?

i have just had the same problem and fixed it.
it was the bonnet release cable rubber seal.
(as VDUBGTI8V said, look in that area)
maybe worth a look to see if yours is ok.

i had that too - bonnet release cable - they look ok but water still gets in. I used silicant sealant - job done !

Hey Gaz
I had exactly the same leak a few years back on my previous golf. It turned out water was leaking round the blank panel fitted where the heater intake would be on a LHD model (this is found under your ecu). Quick line of silicone around the panel and jobs a good un.

Try your windscreen seal. Solved same problem in mine

Bonnet release cable grommet sounds good to me.

The plenum chamber drain rubbers get full of sh!t and the water builds up till it starts leaking in.
