Guest djk Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 After the recent heavy rain I found a large puddle of water in the passenger footwell. I don't think is coming in via the roof seals as I had a plastic bonnet over the roof. I think I read somewhere that if the battery tray has ruted this could cause this type of problem, any advice here. The car has now been garaged so I can do the jobs that I've been planning and collecting parts for so I'd like to fix this at the same time. Also I'd like to see if anyone can give some advise regarding a drive/suspension question. After the engine has warmed up, a mile or two, when the clutch is released after changing gear there is a light clunk, I think its from the nearside. Not sure if its a diff/clutch/UJ problem? or nothing at all. One thing I did notice was when I first got the car the front tyres were worn on the inside edge, I change the wheels so now not sure if it was both front tyres or just one and if so what side. Sorry to go on. Here's hoping for some sound advice. David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've looks around the battery tray and there appears to be some holes in it? Haven't removed the batter yet as I just wanted to get the car under cover and dried out first. Thanks again.

gingergman Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 if its the same as a mk4 the tray does have holes through it, take the battery off and have a good nose and poke with a screwdriver all around that area. or get someone to tip water there when your sat in the car to see if she springs a leak.
