    Default Water dripping onto accererator

    I have a 92 VP wagon executive

    After it has rained water must be being blocked somewhere and causing water to drip inside on to accelerator pedal/foot (from behind firewall? then under dash). It mainly happens when turning which causes the water to flow in.

    I heard it was most likely a blocked drain hole that needs cleaning, correct?

    Help on how to clean the hole/solve this problem?

    thanks

    phone up an aircon specialist and they will stick a probe into the system and it will most likely unblock it for you, i havent heard any report saying the probe is unsuccessful only success stories so i would recommend it.

    Sounds more like a rubber bung has fallen out and the water is spraying up and through the fire wall.

    Or leak via window.

    Blocked A/C drain gives "wet carpet mod".

    where would i find a hole for a bung?firewall?

    I kind of don't think it's the a/c but not sure.

    Which window would it come from? It would have to be windscreen, i think.

    and yes water is getting in from somewhere

    thanks so far to most people

    From under the bonnet look around and below the brake booster. See if you have any holes that need a plug. This would let engine noise into the cab.

    As far as window leaking it's lake the wipers off and the black plastic cover (fragile) and inspect for rust. Run a jug of water onto the screen slowly to see if you have a niagra into the cab.

    Wont be the A/C if its dripping onto the loud peddle.
