water leak??
« on: 04 March 2012, 11:03 »
Hi all, got in my car (bora) this morning and whilst driving i noticed in the passenger side foot well my rubber mat had water swerling around but the carpet underneath and all around it is dry :huh: also, im not sure if they're related, my heaters aren't working properly. Any ideas or has anyone had the same problem?

Thanks

Great help thanks I'll check your suggestions today.

Has anyone any ideas about the heater? I get a noise as though its working in the passenger foot well (which is what was making me think they might b connected some how) but hardly anything and i can't clear my windows

What like a bubbling gargling noise? Got climate control?

no to both. It makes the noise you'd expect it to make but there's very little air coming through.

Got in my car this morning and noticed water on the driver side aswell. What we thinking maybe more a blockage than anything else?
