water sounds in passenger area and scuttle pan

[jimbobtom]

Hi,

 

New to the forum.

I have an Audi A4 Cabriolet 2004 3.0l petrol. i am forever getting water sounds in the passenger footwell and the scuttle pan is regularly full. i think this is playing with my electrics a bit also. I initially thought it was the rear window on the soft top which had perished in places but upon fixing this it still happens (after trying to fix it several times i came across Tiger seal sealant which is awesome and highly recommended).

The water is getting in somewhere or there are some drainage holes somewhere i have missed.

 

Has anyone had this problem and can help me out? I love the car but if i don't get it fixed this time, it will have to go 😞

 

regards,

 

Jim

I agree with Kev, definitely look at the battery area. It's it playing up with the electrics then it may have affected the CCM module. 

Also worth looking at the pollen filter housing as this cracked on my a6.

appreciate this Kev thank you i will investigate tomorrow.

I also get an issue with my central brake light. i replaced it and it worked for a while but it went out again. I think water is getting in the back also. Is there any drainage holes in the back?
