Jason a6 Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 Hi first off thank you for this info and pics to help on this issue. Due to having water in passenger footwell I have also cleaned the drainage hole and surrounding areas but the problem still persists any more areas of the car that could be causing this? As all the seals ect around windscreen looks fine any help would be appreciated thanks. 聽 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also removed the glove box to try find where water was coming from and believe I found dripping from carbon cabin filter. I'm so confused?

RoyC Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 If you have a sun roof, make sure that the drains are clear for this, or you will have water ingress here too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iankke Posted November 21, 2022 Share Posted November 21, 2022 My beautiful A6 Quattro Avant 2012 with just 108.000 km was classed as a 'total loss' or write off by the insurance company today. Somehow water got into the electrics and I think because the roof was replaced (dents) and during the repairs the roof and windscreen were out for 4 weeks. Unfortunately the car never got to Audi to have the problem diagnosed (battery drain causing the battery to be flat overnight) just a local car sparky who I think was doing the panel beater a favour by finding a different fault as he had no insurance to cover the damage. He claims a typical Audi and European car fault that the 'drain hole under the wiper rack assembly gets blocked'. This he claims is a common fault... well I've driven Audis for over 20 years and never heard of it ... has anyone else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FirstG Posted June 14, 2023 Share Posted June 14, 2023 I think its a build up of leaf debris not cleaned regular enough and once broken down clogs up any drainage holes. It does it in the boot area on either side & if not cleaned especially in the spring time builds up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plenum chamber and sun roof drain holes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rajsta Posted May 20 Share Posted May 20 I've just started getting water in the spare wheel well with has caused mould spots to form!聽 After searching for the source I found a few droplets on the offside of the boot just before it drops down into the wheel well,聽 it's like it coming from offside rear light area and trickling down but I can't pin point it.
