Right the carpet on the passenger foot well is damp. Thought i had it sussed the other day, but i dont as its getting damp again. Any idea or common places for water to seep in through and go onto the passenger footwell?

what model is it 1,2, 3 or even 4 ?

anywayI'm pretty sure it will be the pollen filter seal, this is under the black plastic cover between the bonnet and windscreen on the passengers side, remove the cover and then the cover on the filter, remove filter, clean the area fit new filter and ensure it's clipped in correctly and refit covers job jobbed..

Pull back the carpet as there are plastic grommits in the footwell that i hav eseen disapear , this happened on my bro's mrk 1 mondie a few years ago !!

Also check door seals etc and you heater matrix is the worst case

the heater matrix on a mondy will not leak into the car it's bottom cover has a drain through the bulkhead so if the matrix leaks it runs into the engine bay .

These have any kind of drain round the bulkhead?
Fave on old vauxs, would block and send it into car.

pollen filter seems to be the easiest to check

some of them need a ford sealer when they get changed to prevent them from leaking

as above incorrectly fitted pollen filter

My mk2 dose this as well, only when it feels like it though. Is it a cheap one to fix the pollen bit?

Rhys

Its a Mk2 two Sounds like coule be pollen filter as i know this has been changed recently before i had it. Will check tomorrow.


Would this only going over to the drivers side though Steve?

eh?? in english please
then I can answer it

steve

Rhys

Sorry mate trying to two things at once AS you can see i cant multi task


If the pollen filter is fitted incorrectly, would this only cause a leak to happen on the drivers side? Or could it also leak on passenger side?

Or is it just the way the luck falls and the way its sealed, ie wrong on drivers side part, hence leak over there.


Will have play tomorrow, will also pull edge of carpet up make sure everything is ok underneath

the pollen filter is on the passenger side hence why it only leaks on that side, if both front footwells are wet then you may have a pond in your pollen filter or another leak on the drivers side, what tho I'm not sure as I have never seen one,so not had to look there

Just changed the pollen filter on my estate mondie yesterday and what a mess ...................do some folk never ever think of checking these aswell as changing air filters etc etc

Could tell with the state of mine that it had never been done in the 65k life its had since 1999

when I bought my present mondy, the heater fans would only turn slowly, I found out why when I took the pollen filter out, it was blocked solid!!
the fans whizz round now!!

Rhys

Fuck i am one of the biggest pricks going!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Started this thread saying passenger side When i meant to say drivers side only. Hence why getting confusion with pollen filter Now i dryed the carpets out when i got the car and all seemed well until todays rain. Where im resting my feet for accelerator etc its started to become damp agian. Its dry by the door, centre console ,front and back but where I put my feet it damp getting wet. Thinking its where my feet or pushing it doing is soaking it up. YOu think this might be still pollen filter related? As said will pull carpet up as much as i can without taking seat out, to check floor.

Posy thing i hate little things like this.

On my mk1 the rear screen washer pipe had split, somehow i dont know, but when i tried to squirt the rear window it cleaned my head! And on the mk2 its broken somewhere under the front arch so dosnt even reach anywhere near the cabin...

IIRC the washer pipe on a mk2 goes into the A post at the top of the inner wing so it could be split there and running down the A post.

steve

Rhys

Will give it a whirl tomorrow and try squirting was wipe too as could be that.

Will let you guys know what comes of it tomorrow

Nath

You sure the window was done all the way up as I cant ever remembering the floor been wet

Nath

In saying that, I'm sure the last owner had a roof rack on it and isn't there some sort of rubber seal where that screws or bolts into in line with the top of the drivers door?

Rhys

Right peeps found the problemo, quite a simple one

The rubber gromets on the floor are missing. So for now some Gaffer tape until get the gromets from for this week



Least its nice easy fix

Yeah Nath when got car home pulled up mat to hovver and floor was soaking wet Least found out easy fix now.

Csm

Nice one, i told u so

Rhys

Millsy you was spot on Just makes me think how or why the hell they dissapeared?

Rhys

Right after fitting the two gromets, it now looks like carpet is getting damp/wet again So im either thing seal across bulk head (will whip cowling of by wipers etc tomorrow. Or worst case im worrying is matrix!


Anyone know any ideas to easily identify? not an impressed person
