S3 Leaking water In Passanger Footwell

[Jacko4130]

Nipped out today in the rain and water is dripping into the passanger footwell. Had a quick look and could not see any major problems.

Could it be the pollen filter?

Any help would be great as always guys

Cheers Jacko

I'd say first thing to check is the pollen filter cover mate

Have a look under the scuttle cover to the nearside of the pollen filter, there maybe a hole that should have a grommet in it (possibly lost when previous owner took out stereo gear). About an inch away is the actual drain hole for water from the windscreen so if that grommet is missing the footwell gets a soaking.

I had this proplem a while back and i replaced the grommet even tho it looked fine i found that it was nakerd after taking it out, and cleaned all the poop (little bits of leaves/muk etc..) out from around the area. Ever since then ive been dry as a nun .
