leaking cav

[rob f]

hi i went to have a look at a cav turbo and was gonna buy it until i noticed the floor was wet under the carpets at the front under the underlay now i checked the sock the bit on the scuttle panel to let the water out and that wasnt blocked so could it be the usual thing, the blower box seal in the scuttle panel coz i noticed there water laying around the edges of it!

also some 1 has jacked the car up half on the floor and half on the jacking point and bent problem is its rite on a plastic bung on the floor and its not sitting straight is there any way of straghting this lot back out as it looks a mes at the mo

sorry to resurect an old thread, but i have a wet footwell and the sock is clear also...
when i filled the scuttle up with water and blocked the sock up, water came pissing in via the heater blower seal.

so how do you seal it? is it just a job for the silicone sealant?

just siliconed it today, what a bugger of a job(you need long thin fingers)........
I have only siliconed round the botttom of the heater/scuttle bit, near where the sock goes. is that right? i s'pose only time will tell.lol

Get the hose out and give the windscreen a good going over, you will soon see if it has worked or not

i threw several buckets of water over the windscreen and no water appeared inside the car.... so fingers crossed its sorted!
