VR6Pete 1,455 Posted March 29, 2014 Report Share Posted March 29, 2014 If it was the heater matrix then you'd be able taste the coolant and your windows would generally steam up... More than likely as above mate Club Chairman damian8588 1 Link to post Share on other sites

FRANK VR6 2 Posted April 22, 2014 Report Share Posted April 22, 2014 It is either the windscreen or I had it on the passengers side just under the windscreen where the two pannels meet it was leaking through there.good luck!Sent from my GT-I8160 using Tapatalk Link to post Share on other sites
djselliott 0 Posted April 28, 2014 Report Share Posted April 28, 2014 Just had my windscreen replaced to fix a leak I spent ages trying to find! Turns out the original VW screen was really badly bonded in (tiny strip of sealant down the sides). Link to post Share on other sites
isobarboy 25 Posted April 29, 2014 Report Share Posted April 29, 2014 1. Sunroof drain holes leaking into car2. Scoop under windshield blocked and allowing water in.3. Slight matrix leak ( though it does steam up as mentioned)4. Rubber bungs are corroding. Allowing moisture in.5. Door film within door has become comprimised allowing water in through the rubber seals, passing through the door and out into your car.6. Poorly bonded windshield (original one still in?) 7. Poor rubber around door sealsGood luck! Link to post Share on other sites
damian8588 11 Posted May 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2014 Finally found the bugger was sun roof drainage was blocked just behind the dash all sorted now thanks allSent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk Link to post Share on other sites
isobarboy 25 Posted May 26, 2014 Report Share Posted May 26, 2014 When I changed the heater matrix the other week I found mine were buggered. So I ve sealed one off ( Link to post Share on other sites
JakeP 53 Posted May 16, 2015 Report Share Posted May 16, 2015 My sunroof tray is fucked and the water leaks into drivers side footwell, I can even see it dribble down the pillar towards the bonnet opener and it just dribbles into the footwell, Was annoying because using a house I couldn't find the problem untill it was raining all day and sat there checking to see where it was coming in Link to post Share on other sites
