Skoda superb - dreaded water ingress just discovered

quad_red

Hi folks,

Just discovered a puddle in the drivers footwell of car. Water appears to be coming under plastic panel to the right of footwell. Carpet doesn't appear wet but the mat was.

This is the dreaded ingress issue I'd heard about. Gonna take her to garage tomorrow but today I gotta get back down the country to Dublin.

Anyone any advice on what to do now?

Cheers
A depressed Quad

Had similar issues with a Fabia. Seems the seals in the windows aren't strong enough and water seeps down behind the door cards onto the floor. Skoda didn't want to know about it. Carpets are destroyed. Heard its a known issue.

That's exactly what it was. Doesn't appear much water got in. Pilsen just pushed the rubber fitting at the end of the drain in and let the water drain.

Said that's all they could do and it was a known VW/Skoda issue. No way of knowing if it's blocking up in future.

Not too happy tbh
