Battery tray swimming pool.

Thanks for that Traficant, very useful. I cleaned out my drain holes in the summer as I had water in the driver's footwell. I thought I'd stopped the leak but after all the recent rain I think I might still have the leak as my windscreen seems to be far too wet on the inside some mornings.

I'm going to have a look at that grommet first chance I get.

Every year we clean the drains on our loan A4 as it has to sit outside and STILL the drains get blocked, so much so that it is now in pieces as the air bag light came on and it has no ECU comms. I pulled the interior, removed the carpet and found the passengers floor very damp and the side impact sensor wiring corroded and also somehow the water had got inside the cable of the air bag ecu comms wire and it fell to bits, it is the only wire affected! With the sensor being obsolete from Audi (and it was £220 anyway) and all the labour, if this was a customers car it would be a write off... How can a water leak write a car off? Anyone have a spare 8D0 959 643 A lateral acceleration sensor?

Hi Crash, i have spoken to a mate who only drives A4s but nothing he can find as part required by you. Wish you luck finding it.

I meant to say it went to the breakers last week, a tragedy as there was not a spot of rust anywhere, an 8D from the days when Audi still properly rust proofed their cars unlike the 8E and 8K....

Bit off topic, but my windscreen washer jet pipe has split where it leaves the passenger side front wing and works up into the bonnet itself, and i only noticed as wasnt getting water to the jets, it had split right beside the battery tray so every time I called for water, it was spraying out of the split pipe and all over the battery tray
