Are citroen's prone to being aquatic?
Hi folks,
Another thread regarding water inside of vehicle.
My Xsara picasso 2.0Hdi exclusive is suffering from intake of our lovely weather lately in that its filling up the stowage compartment in the floor
behind the driver seat .Anybody got any ideas where it might be coming from before i have to invest in some scuba gear for me and the family.Was hoping for more sunnier climate before donning said scuba gear.
Anyway..seriously, where are the best places to look for this ingress of H2O in this design of car?Much help appreciated from those in the know.
thanks in advance to any replies

In my experience with Ford Galaxys the water comes into the car when the drainage channels around the car become blocked.
If you've got a sunroof then you've probably got channels there aswell as in the bulkhead.
Using some curtain wire to clean these out usually works.

Dont forget the sunroof, the bonded windscreen, the speaker mountings in the doors, the heater matrix, the fan intake, the ariel, the roof rack mounts............
Xantia specific but all worth checking if you have water ingress.
