I've just bought an 2008/9 A3 and the seller managed to hide/distract a boot leak from me, I was going to take the spare wheel out as I noticed some moisture on the wheel, he said it was just condensation. I forgot you had to screw the cap to take it out so when I pulled it didn't budge and he had loads of stuff in the boot too and he said there's too much stuff in there, I asked if there was a leak after he said no it's condensation I swear, it's mint and then the subject was switched. I planned to look again but I forgot. Anyway I've bought it and got it home, I took out the wheel the next day and the wheel well was full of water ell roughly a cm . It wasn't an ideal situation as I travelled 200 miles and it was raining / snowing and getting dark.
I know this leak has been covered but I'm a bit confused as to what I'm looking for and how it should look. Also could a leak come from the spoiler as I notice a little rubber sticking out.
I read about the lights not being right with the rubber.
Drain bungs I'm not sure what these are?
Removing the boot liner? is that the carpet trim around the sides?
I have attached some pics, if you could take a look and say if any look suspect or where the things I should check are.
