Hi

Newbie here ;)
I have an X reg Audi S3 8l in imola yellow. Love it but I have a major problem with the Foot wells on the drivers side (front and rear) filling up with water. I dont understand where it is coming from :0. Have you guys got any suggestions or know of any common issues with these A3`s?
Any help is most appreciated ;)

I had the same issue with my first Passat
Turned out to be the seal under the pollen filter
Apparently it should of been done by the dealer as part of a recall

I was also told that the drain under the battery can get blocked as well

Thanks for the reply. Where abouts is the pollen filter located? so I can check the seal.
Thanks

Which section should it be under? I have put it in the audi a3 8l section also now.
