water leaking into passenger footwell

[Craig David]

Hi there - I'm new - seems like a great forum here.

We have a Leon - about two years old. Water (rain water I think) is somehow leaking into the passenger footwell on occasions.

We've taken it back to Seat four times to fix this and each time they haven't.

Any idea what would be wrong?

Cheers!

do a search for "indoor swimming pool", i had the same problem. it could be a number of things from an ill fitting cabin/pollen filter. or it could be the drain holes in your doors blocked

as its more to the passenger footwell, i would go more for the pollen fillter under the bonet to the passenger side behind the black plastic cover(two plastic screws to remove)

I have had the same problem. The first time I took it over the dealer they said it was the polen filter. Which they did fix and there wasn't that much water coming through.
About two weeks ago it raind for a couple of days and there was a bit of water in it again. Not as much as last time which indicated that the polen filter was at fault as well. On friday I took it back to the dealer again and they sayd that it could also be the door seals. Which it was in the end!! So now I am waiting for my car to be fixed while I drive around in a Ford Fusion 2 1.4!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! as a courtesy car!!
I hope this helps!!!

Have recently fixed the same problem. Had water in the rear footwell and running over the front passengers door sill.

Its caused by the seals around the metal plate behind the door cards. About 2hrs job to sort with the right tools.

I had both front and back passenger side leaks. Front was a badly fitted pollen filter (SEAT dealer) and the rear was the usual door seal problem.

Had my front and rear seals fixed 2 weeks ago at £220, did the trick though.

Just got off the phone with dealer and they fixed the leak!! Wooohoo!!
Luckly I didn't pay anything because it was still under warranty!
