Hi ,

going down the A pillars is a pipe that carries the rain water from the targa channels on the roof down to some drain pipes that come out underneath the car. Where these rubber pipes come down the inside of the wing area, they hook up to the metal pipe that eventually drains to outside.

 

Now don't ask how this has happened but BOTH rubber tubes have come off where they meet this metal pipe, symptoms of this include lots of water on the passenger carpet around the ECU and some more water spilling onto all the fuses...

 

if you peek under the passenger foot well at the most awkward of angles you can just see the pipe

 

JeffTT had this issue a while ago and the passenger side one can be seen but needs the whole arm of a small boy to put it back, However the drivers side is impossible to see, let alone fix.

 

Any one got any ideas how to access these areas or have some pics/diagrams or the offending area.

 

Thanks

hi, did u ever fix this problem as i think i may have the same thing! ive had to take out the whole carpet as passenger side is damp and driver side has puddles! if i pour water onto the roof it comes straight out into the footwell!! so far i have been un able to find the driver side tube :S

 

was it easy to get to once u found it?

should be able to trace it behind the A pillar trim, past the dash and through behind the wing - do you know which bits you have got? might be worth a look as you may be missing a section or something is broken.

was hard to see anything with the mass of wires and fuses around there!

 

sorry what do u mean bits?

Hi guys, just resurrecting this problem again as i found my pass footwell had become a swimming pool the other day. Would like to fix this while the nice weather is here.

ill PM you my Post code, you can have a butchers at my new Zed as well lol

so did anyone manage to find the location of the drivers side tube? at the moment i have the tube pulled back from the wing and going into a bucket in the car, far from ideal!

surprising how quick the bucket fills when it rains too!

Hi,I was on the verge of doing something similar, but while i was at Vodkashots, he sussed the problem out. The clear looking tube that is visible when you get your head down the foot well you see this

Well what i thought had happened was that there was another tube that had come off which let the water out at the floor level to the ground. However, what ian found was a 3" long black tube with 2 1/2 " straight leading to a kinked 1/2" bit, between them was lip seals for a hole in the bulkhead. if you open the door and look down, about 6-8" down there is a 3/4" hole. This black pipe fitted up onto the clear bit in the picture and then the smaller bit is pushed through the hole, simple really.
