Passat (B5) :: 1998 - Water Pooling Up In Drain Tray Area On Driver Side
My dad just brought home his new 98 Passat V6 wagon! So were washing it for the first time, and he notices that the rain tray is missing. no big deal.
But we also found that there is water pooling up in the drain tray area on the driver's side. Its way back in the corner. Drivers side, right in the corner of the firewall.
Where the drain plugs are around there? I have the Bentley manual, but thought someone out there might have a readily available answer.
Passat (B5) :: 1998 - Water In Battery Tray
98 passat, Is there supposed to be a drain under or near the battery? I always have about 3-4 inches of water in it.

2001 Passat Wagon ... After a heavy rain last night I noticed a very wet driver side floor area. My car was parked and I've never noticed any wetness while driving. What are the steps to take to figure out where the leak is?

I am considering purchasing a 2010 as an upgrade from my current 2008, I have been reading recently as these last 3 days of constant rain made me check my current one for leaks and like normally the battery tray was filled with water.
View 3 RepliesWater Getting To Front Passenger Floor Area Of Avalon In Rain
It's from rain, but only getting to the front passenger floor area. And this just started in the last month. Decades ago I had a VW Rabbit that would get serious water, in all 4 quadrants, in rain or a car wash. But I figured that one out, the "gutter" in front of the windshield was jammed up with dead leaves, once those were cleared, no more water coming in.
So, when this Avalon leak appeared, that was the first area I checked. There was a bit of leaves and twigs, which I cleared away, but the worst of it was on the drivers's side and as I mentioned, no problem there.

99 passat, 1.8T wagon. We had so much rain recently, as a result driver's side carpet in my passat is wet. It' is mostly in the front but there are some wet areas on the back too. Nothing on passenger side. Where to look for first, any common problems with water leaks on this car?
View 7 RepliesPassat (B5) :: Water Is Leaking Into Car Through Both Rear Doors In Hard Rain
A few months ago I purchased a 2002 4Motion wagon with 62,000 miles on it. I've discovered that in a hard rain that water is leaking into the car through both rear doors.
It seems that the water is coming in right where the rubber L-shaped bracket is located at the bottom of the door. I've removed those L-shaped rubber brackets and the problem still exists. It seems that the drain plugs on the door are not clogged.
I'm concerned that it has been going on for while prior to me owning the car and that a floor that has been frequently wet is going to be a problem long term - rust issue.
Passat (B5) :: Rain Water Puddles Inside On Passenger Side
When it rains I get puddles inside on the passenger side. I haven't seen where it enters but it doesn't appear to be from the moon roof, or the windows (doors seem dry) so I assume it's from one of the doors but the weatherstripping looks to be intact. It looks like there's a rubber outlet in the hinge area of the front door - could it be from there?
View 9 RepliesPassat (B6) :: Water Drains Onto Driver Side Armrest After Rain
I just got a new Passat (2007) on May 19, less than 2 months ago as of this posting. I love the car, but whenever it rains, or following rain, I have a problem with water dripping down into the driver's side whenever I have the window cracked open. At first I thought, No big deal. However, now my right rear power window and the safety lock to all the windows has stopped working.
BUT...I opened my mouth and mentioned the water problem, to which the Service Advisor responded, "I'm going to pretend that I didn't hear that." This suggests to me that, possibly, the dealership would try to screw me otherwise and say that the window failed because of water (an OUTSIDE influence)...Thus far, my local dealership (and the Service Advisor) have been top-notch.
First of all, is it possible that they'll try to say I should've had my window completely up during rain, and therefore water shorted out the switch? My argument (if it comes to that) is that even several hours after rainfall, water from the roof drips into the car, and some gets on the armrest where the controls are located. Am I in for a showdown? I would think that the buttons would be sealed to prevent water from affecting the electronics underneath.
Passat (B5) :: Area Under The Hood Filled-up With Water
I noticed that I was leaving a trail of water as pulled into the driveway. I thought it might be coolant, but it turns-out that an area under the hood had filled-up with water. It was the area right in front of the windshield, holding the battery. There was a pool of water there, as wide as the car, and about 6 inches deep! It came right up to the brake fluid reservoir. I assume that there's a drain hose from this area somewhere that's plugged?
View 3 RepliesGolf/GTI VI :: Rear Window Washer Feed Hose Failed / Water Dripping On Package Tray
2010, 35k miles... didn't see that coming.
Looks like the hose is made of some plastic material that doesn't like flexing very much. I guess I opened the rear hatch enough times to break it.
Is this a common problem? Is there a proper size coupler available to fix this?
Golf IV / Jetta IV :: 2000 - Sunroof Leak / Water Overflows The Tray Runs Down To Driver Side C Pillar
So as the title says the sunroof in my 2000 Jetta is leaking. I've taken down a, b, and c pillars, and the headliner. Poured water in the drain tray and no noticeable leak.. however when I spray it with the hose, the water overflows over the drain tray at the drain ends and into the car like Niagara falls. I've check all the connections, pinched open the plugs. I've already replaced the sunroof seal, which was noticeably shrunken. The new one fits snug all around but I'm still getting the leak. The water (from what i can tell) over flows the tray, runs down the headliner to the drivers side C pillar and then down into the trunk where the cd changer / safety kit was. I usually park uphill, and the one time I parked down hill and sprayed it with the hose the water was "Niagara falling" into my passenger seat.
View 4 RepliesFord Audio/Video System :: Drain Tube On Right Front Kinked And Water Overflow Drip Tray On Sunroof And Down The A Pillar
I have an 09 f350 lariat with the factory 6 disc, sync system. Problem is the sunroof drain tube on the right front kinked and allowed water to overflow the drip tray on the sunroof and down the "A" pillar. The water then dripped onto the inertia fuel pump switch and then onto the sync module. I disassembled the module to dry and coat the circuit board with dielectric spray but one of the transistors is corroded and therefore the module is rendered useless. I have contacted the ford dealer for replacement module but no luck, even with the original part number on the sync module, or as ford calls it " Accessory Protocol Interface Module" My question is: can I get a module from another vehicle.

Whose bright idea was it to have the damn tray attached to the puke tank making it impossible to remove by itself? What am I doing wrong?
I'm replacing my batteries and one of the hold down bolts slipped down off the tray underneath it somewhere. I removed all the bolts holding in the tray and find that it is attached to the puke tank?! (Coolant reservoir). How the heck to I get to that bolt?
Bmw - 525 :: Water Leaking Into Car During Heavy Rain
I have a 2003 BMW 525i. A couple of years ago, after a heavy rainstorm, I found water in the footwell of the backseat behind the driver’s seat. I took my car to a mechanic and he mentioned the door’s vapor barrier and the vapor barrier was resealed. Again a heavy rain storm, back to the mechanic and the vapor barrier was resealed. This has happened three times and I feel that there is a problem somewhere that has been overlooked by my mechanic. Normally, my car is garaged, but when out of town, my poor car is at the mercy of the weather.

This started a bit ago. Every time it rains I get water in my glove box. The weatherstrip on the plastic cowl is missing but I have a hard time believing that is the issue. There are signs of rust on the top corner above the windshield. The paint is bubbling. I'm not sure what it is but I need to stop it as soon as possible!
View 1 RepliesCobalt SS :: 2008 - Growling Noise From Transmission Area When Drive In Heavy Rain
I drive a 2008 Cobalt SS turbo. its been a good car and I haven't had any major problems with it aside from the small stuff.
Well for the past few months I've noticed that, whenever i drive in heavy rain or in snow etc I will get a loud Growling/whining noise from the transmission area. Now it will do it while in Neutral, 1st etc and when stopped it will go away. If I stop the car for a few moments, the noise goes away until I hit another puddle and then it comes back again.
I also feel a "knocking" in the shifter and I've noticed its vibrated really badly for awhile now.
the caveat to this is it ONLY does it when its wet outside. I've taken it to GM a few times, and even showed the service manager the issues when it was raining out and he said everything was fine. The car never did it when I first purchased it.
I should include that there are some aftermarket modifications on the car. Catless downpipe, new intercooler, lowering springs. stock exhaust and stock turbo.
Volvo - S60 :: Loud Siren Sound Coming From Engine Area In Heavy Rain
I own a 2004 Volvo S60 2.5T AWD. I have noticed that usually when I am driving and it starts to rain heavily, there is a loud siren sound coming from the engine area. This sound stays till it doesn't stop to rain. Also, if I don't step on the accelerator, the sound goes away. I have taken it to the dealership a couple of times but haven't been able to replicate the sound.
