406 Coupe with swimming pool in footwell - andrew6071
Hi,

I've got a 2001 Y 406 coupe with a swimming pool in the passenger side footwell, The problem started last sunday, i noticed a few dribbles from under the glovebox

Come monday it had turned into a torrent of water enough to form a puddle in the footwell.

I've taken the car to the main dealer but they want to charge me £600, because they say there is a problem with the evaporator unit (or something like that ?), and the warranty company wont cover it because they say its "water ingress".

Does anyone have any suggestions

Any help would be appreciated.

Andrew

I suggest that water ingress means a leak from a windscreen or door seal and this clearly isn't that IMHO. Your garage says it is a problem with the evaporator ( which is part of the a/c so I don't know where torrents water come in that) but it is a mechanical problem which should be covered by your warranty. However, do read the 56 small print paragraphs of exclusions!
