Guys, just seeing if anyone has any advice before I get it towed to the garage.
2013 S4
Basically over the last week where we had bad rain somehow both drivers and passengers floor was soaking wet. Water was dripping from the bottom of glove box and bonnet pull.
After doing some research it's common to come from the drain holes on the pan roof. I have not dropped the roof liner but water is definitely coming down the A pillar as I got my hand underneath and some of the small spongers were wet. I've got a solution just waiting on parts going to sleeve the drain pipes with slightly smaller reinforced flexible pipe. Dont really fancy the ache of dropping the headliner at the moment.
Now not coincidentally the car goes to turn over but doesn't start just chugging. I checked the battery anyway on multimeter and it's on its way out so I've replaced it with new AGM Varta Silver to same spec and car stil won't start (not surprised).
I've checked all fuses in situ with multimedia and I've scanned the car with ODBEleven showing no faults. There's no signs on the dashboard and air con mmi Bluetooth ect all work.
Car is now fully dry with cover over the roof.
Does anyone have any ideas on what else I can check before I spend some £ on a garage.
Appreciate responses in advance
