I now have an A4 2.0 ALLROAD (62 reg) which I bought in August 2019 : the mileage then was 79000.
I purchased (from AUDI) front and rear rubber floor mats.
Last week I noticed the floor under the rear mats was very wet, especially behind the driver’s seat. The floor under the front mats was dry. I removed the rear rubber floor mats.
Over the weekend, when the car was hardly used, the rear floor appeared to dry. But by Tuesday (03/12/19) the floor, particularly behind the drvers seat, was wet again. This was after about driving 70+ miles.
My thoughts were that it could be :-
1leaky door seals or blocked gutters, but there is no visible inrgress of water around the doors
- condensation, but there is no evidence of this anywhere else in the car
- water entering via the underside of the car, which seems unlikely but possible
4) leaky washer connection(s) which I had some years ago on my A4 Avant, but under the front passenger floor
Does anybody have any thoughts, experiences or advice re this problem before I make a ‘wallet emptying’ visit to the AUDI dealership ? All comments appreciated !

I bought my A4 AVANT 2.5 Tdi QUATTRO new in August 2004 (54 reg). In late summer 2013 the nearside rear quarter light window spontaenously shattered twice within about a month. The glass was replaced by my AA insurance, incurring a £60 excess charge each time. In late summer/autumn of 2014 the same window spontaenously shattered three times within about a 2 month period. The first two AA replacements again incurred a £60 surcharge, but on the third occurrence I was advised by AUDI HQ customer services to take the car to my AUDI dealer to resolve the problem. They replaced the glass at a cost of £230. After a year the window has AGAIN spontaenously shattered, which makes 6 times the same window has shattered in a 2 year period. I have NOT had similar problems with any other window. Has anyone had similar problems with spontaenously shattering windows ? Or know how to rectify the problem ? Any assistance appreciated !
