Peugeot 106 1.5d 1999. Leak in foot wells, soaked carpets

Discussion in 'Peugeot 106' started by the_raisenator, Jan 27, 2007.

  1. I have a serious leakage in the drivers side front and rear foot
    wells. I first nticed it in the rear a few weeks ago but after recent
    heavy rain it has been soaked in the front and back.

    I have checked all the rubber seals around the doors and they are all
    in good condition, the grill below the windscreen is clear of debris
    and no water is gathering there, and the 2 gromits in the middle of
    the front and rear footwells are both there.

    Anyone else had this problem and resolved it?
    Any ideas of anything else worth checking?

    Best way to test it is sit in the car and run ahose pipe over the doors
    that side or use a watering can.

  3. Thanks for the suggestion Chris.
    I tried soaking it with hose but i couldn’t spot any leaks.
    I think the leak is coming from underneath cos it is only the floor
    that is wet and not the carpets which are up the sides.
    Any more ideas?

    Try the hose pipe under the car. you might find a little hole under
    there.

    I have the same problem with my daughters 96 pug 106, apart from a
    tiny leak from the roof ariel (fix with leak n seal), if you remove
    the plastic from the base of the windscreen you will find a small
    rubber grommet between the plastic water deflector and the wiper
    spindle, replace it (at least the drivers side one) because the ruddy
    blower air intake resides RIGHT UNDERNEATH THE DRIVERS WIPER SPINDLE,
    so any water dribbles past falls straight in to the blower as its only
    covered with a crude plastic mesh to trap leaves, goes straight into
    the orofice and then down the accelerator peddle and into the foot
    well and that my friend is a really bad design fault!!
    A piece of plastic or lino curved over the airwell and apoxyed into
    place should stop this happening again.
    The actually spindle is fitted to a bracket above the inner scuttle
    and smack bang over said airwell , ps if the other guy with the leak
    from the back end is reading this she had water ingress from the
    offside light where the rubber seal had aged and distorted, a thick
    smear of petroleum jelly does the trick here or wet the rubber with
    leak n seal to make it stick to the metalwork behind the lamp. :
