2001 Leon - Water in passenger footwell - dave1234
Hi,

I had my Leon serviced 2 weeks ago, since then i have sometimes been finding water in the passenger seat footwell, it seems to be getting worse.

Can anyone advise what this might be?

Apologies if this has been answered before

Dave

'Tis the pollen filter that has not been seated properly. Do a forum search for "Passat water ingress"...

I'm no Seat expert but as Seat are VW & so many VW owners here experience leaking pollen filter housings, I would start by checking if the garage didn't fit the pollen filter cover properly or broke something in the process of fitting a new filter.

No doubt an expert will be along in a moment.

If it turns out that the leak is from the door seal and not the pollen filter, this link might be useful for you - www.seatcupra.net/forums/showthread.php?t=44216

I think there was a similar step-by-step in that forum for resolving the pollen filter leak as well, try searching for it.
