About LinkBacksSeem to have a wet patch in the passengerside footwell of my Cally, I vaguely remember something about this elsewhere, is it a common issue and where should I be checking for holes?
Seem to have a wet patch in the passengerside footwell of my Cally, I vaguely remember something about this elsewhere, is it a common issue and where should I be checking for holes?
One of the drainage channels could be blocked. Have a good check round your roof rails, bulkhead etc...
Not a Cally but, I had this in my Astra 2 weeks ago, Every body was saying, oh its the blocked sock, or blocked sunroof drain.
Turned out to be a perished grommit where the water pipes for the heater matric come thru. So i wacked some silicon sealent around them and good as new now
drop some cress seeds on it lmao
I had eactly the same problem with my old cally, water started gathering ng in the passenger footwell, after checking all other things like roof gutter, door seals, and floor plugs, it turned out to be the water ran down the gap between door and the car body near the hinge side, someone previously fitted more powerfull speakers and ran seperate cables for these extra speakers, and the rain water eneters the gap near the wing mirror, from there it runs or drips on the wires that someone ran from the front pillar side into the side of the door so they did not use a gromet and the water (rain water) dripped along this wire, enters the door, and from the door it leaks into the inside of the car rather than the outside ! cured the problem by putting silicon dollop around the cable entery.
if it wasn't for the earth , there wouldn't be any universe, mother earth gave birth to all the creation! and without the earths gravitational pull, the sun and the moon would have long gone adrift!
The dampp patch is on near the center not the door, should of mentioned that I suppose lol..
heater matrix?
For issues using MIGWeb please use our helpdesk - do not PM me. Thanks
Had this last year -Originally Posted by Trig
My windscreen got replaced last year and the bloke who fitted it used a universal rubber. Because it's universal it didn't fit the screen proper and left a gap either side of the screen in the bottom corners.
Still not repaired it yet with a genuine rubberNeed to get one really. Anyway when it snowed early this year. When it melted it ran into this gap and into the footwell (both sides)
I had about 1/2 inch of water in it and obviously never noticed as I weren't using the car lmao I also had it jacked up at the front and so that didn't help either
Soon cleared it up though and it took a few days to properly dry out. Got to cover it up though and always check after heavy or prelonged rainfall
Spose I'll ahve to have a look then really, from what ppl have said its most likely to the heater matrix...
It might not be, Could be what mine was.
I even said myself oh it'll be the matrix, Nope.... Was leaking thru the gromit. Directly behind the matrix lmao.
What a bugger
Middle of the floor?
20 quid says its the bulkhead drain tube/sock blocked.
Pop the bonnet and clean it out
For the love of God, please read the rules
If it is its filled up quickly, cleaned it out a few months back...
If it is the heater matrix then there's a really goot how-to photo guide on clubcalibra!
Linky?

Cheers, need signed up on CC for ages just never posted, I get the feeling I'm about to have ppl have a go at me tho, some rather sweeping statements on that place lol...
Trig you'll be welcome on there. I've literally seen about 2 arguments in the 2 years I've been on there... they are a bunch of fairly quiet folk. It's also a lot smaller than MIG with probably only about 20% of the activity and posting.
Get on there mate you'll be welcomed
^ They are more interested in cleaning their cars and photoshopping each other than anything lmao
