Hi there.

Long time reader, first time poster. I have a 2015 1.6 Passat saloon. At Christmas I placed a small toy in the spare wheel well to hide it. Christmas Eve came and I went to get the toy out and low and behold the toy was completely wet through. Took out spare wheel and there was a nice bit of water in there. Got all water out and got a hair dryer to dry it all out. About 3 weeks ago I checked and more water back in well. I moved the 2 side panels and sprayed water over the car with no joy. It's clear water so must be rain water. Any body have any issues with this. Seen a video on YouTube where somebody else has the same problem but just shows video of water and not a fix. Thanks in advance for any help.

Warranty job? If so, pop down to the garage and make it VW's problem to fix.

I've had this with a B7 estate, I think the water pours in when you open the boot in rain. The fact that it's clean tells me it's not road spray.
