    Hi, I cant find where all the water is getting into the boot of my '97 Polo. The carpet over the spare wheel is saturated, if I hold it up with a stick and take out the wheel, water drips out of the carpet into the wheel-well where after maybe an hour a good cup-full accumulates. The carpets at the sides is damp but only at the bottom where they meet the wheel well carpet. The right-hand side seems worse than the left, so it doesn't suggest a detached washer hose as that enters the tail-gate on the left. Things are getting pretty mouldy back there...

    Check the rubber seals around the boot lid, make sure they are not cut or perished.
    We do this sometimes in work, one of us gets in the boot with a light(me:() and the other power hoses the car down. Its a good way of finding out a leak if you have access to a hose.

    Thanks for the reply, when I say boot I mean hatch really, so at least I won't need a light. The seals seem fine, but I will check again tomorrow with a hose.
