Water leaks outside warranty?

[markmck]

I've now got the wife's leaky Leon and my own leaky Toledo to deal with

the rear drivers side footwell was sodden this morning in mine

could well be door seals as these seem a bit suspect

Given that this is an ongoing problem (I remember CAR magazine tested one in 2001 I think and that leaked) you'd have thought they would be a bit closer to finding a solution. I though door seals too but the garage found different - unless it's leaking from the door too, which wouldn't surprise me to be honest. They've already found two (pollen filter and scuttle) and I'm getting pretty p'ed off now. Going in for the 3rd time for leak and another common problem (radiator fans and relay) on the 11th.

I hope its stops raining soon or i'm going to have to get a bilge pump!!


Anyone got a wet and dry vacuum?

I'm thinking of driving down south and selling the water to the water companies - should get a good price now there's a hosepipe ban on!

Hi Vic, it's definitely worth talking to the Seat UK customer care people to see if they can help you.

Heavy rain today whilst driving and when I got back home I noticed that there was a slow drip of water from the bonnet handle (in the driver's footwell). I've had a quick search on SCN and not found any mention of leaks from that position.
Anyone had this before?
What could be causing it? (apart from the heavy rain )
How should I go about fixing it?

Thanks

I have seen a mention about drivers footwell, might want to carry on search.

Probably the front baulkhead, I had it, but in the passenger side.

just noticed after all this rain i have a leaky passenger side seal
defo the seal cos i can see the train of water running over the inside plastics
glad ive spotted it now so i can take some evasive action before it gets worse
