My name is Jay. I'll check the scuttel panel to be sure. It's a pain using the car without the AC on as the windows steam up. I don't know if the drain pipe runs through the car, I was hoping this forum would help confirm that. I think it's very possible though based on the points mentioned in my original post.

The passenger side is completely dry, no issues what so ever so again it's pointing towards the AC drainage pipe for me.

I'll take a look at the scuttle panel but I'm quite confident it's not that. As mentioned, I left the car unused for 2 weeks and it remained completely dry. It's only after using the car the carpet gets wet which is suggesting it's internal. The water doesn't smell of coolant and my coolant levels aren't going down so I think it has to be the air conditioning drainage pipe.

Hi all, I own a 2017 Audi S3 (right-hand drive) and have noticed that the driver-side carpet is getting wet. The water begins accumulating in the top left corner (see attached photo) beneath the plastic footrest. Here’s what I’ve observed so far: I dried out the carpet completely and left the car unused for two weeks while on holiday. During this time, the carpet remained dry, which makes me think it’s not due to rain or an external leak. However, since resuming use of the car, the carpet has started getting wet again, which points to something internal causing the issue. I suspect it might be related to the air conditioning drainage pipe being blocked or malfunctioning. Does anyone have experience diagnosing or fixing a blocked AC drain on the Audi S3? If so, where exactly is the drain located in the 2017 model (RHD), and how can I check or clear it? For additional context: The water feels and smells neutral (not like coolant). The coolant level in my car has stayed consistent. I’ve ruled out rainwater leaks as this issue persists regardless of weather, and the windshield has been replaced twice with no effect. I DO NOT have a sun-roof. Any advice or guidance would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance!
