KA water leaks

tabetha · 01-02-2010, 09:20 PM

Help I can't swim, and need to in this 2000 year KA, serious amount of water everywhere in front footwells, defo not matrix as uses no water at all, drivers side much worse, is there any common water leak areas known on these, where is the drain tube for the air con, as this is used a lot so maybe also blocked tube, assume it's in the centre under the area somnewhere.
Any help appreciated as always, thanks.

the ex's (say ex, current partner but seperated at min) KA does this...

was going to look at it but couldnt be arsed, i assumed it was bad sealing round the screen.

would poss get leak if screen is a replacement, also try putting a very bright light shining towards the bulkhead and check from inside anywhere u can see light coming through, leaks are a right pain to track down sometimes

im a screen fitter and its quite common on these..also under and around the scuttle is prone to corrosion and causes leaks under the glass

Theres a bit grommet on either side of the engine bay towards the rear behing the header tank (left or right depending on engine) that perrishes or if the car is second hand, someone might have stuck some cabling down. Leaks like a f00ker, even if its only a tiny little crack in it.
