WHERE AM I LEAKING!!!!

[Matty]

for some reason every time it pisses down with rain over night the drivers side floor has a puddle of water.
now ive checked the sun roof and it doesnt seem to be that (as if it was the sunroof leakin my chair would also be wet, and its not)

ive also checked around the windo frame and that seems to be sealed fine

i even checked the windscreen to see if there was any holes or gaps but there isnt..

PLEASE can any one give me guidence of what i should do.
is this a problem known to bravo's???

It could still be ya sunroof. Sometimes they leak in and run down the door pillar between the door and the windscreen and then onto the floor. Just a thought - I may be completely wrong but you could check it just in case.

I want to die peacefully in my sleep, just like my grandmother. Not like the rest of the screaming passengers in her car.

Re: Re: Re: Re: leak

Dunno about the Bravo, but it was an expensive problem in my old Teapot 1.4DGT. Water dripped straight on to the fuse panel. Everything went on one damp dark evening. Had to get the AA to tow me home. New fuse panel required. Loads o money!

Well..

Followed the instructions on the guide when I got home today (once again many thanks to Nige !) and got about 2 handfulls of leaves and gunk out of the drainage areas at the sides of the windscreen, have to see if that's fixed it.

Poured some water through to check it's free flowing, but think I will need to take the black plastic panel at the base of the screen off to get to the passenger side one properly. Much better than it was though

Next up will be the arial mounting as I also get the occasional single drop from the roof when it's raining heavy... the joys of owning a Fiat eh?

leaking solved!!!!!

i have just found the problem just incase anyone else has the same problem...


lift the bonnet and at the left and right of each end there are little drainage wells, mine was full of leaves and shite, and the side that was wet on the inside, was the side of the well that was full of water, i simpley just pulled out all the crap with a scewer, i had to undo a few screws where the rubber seam is under the bonnet to get access to the hole that was blocked

cheers for all your responses!
