my 02 Laguna is leaking water inside the car

Unread post by jacksun1987 »

My Laguna is leaking water in the car. Its the drivers side foot weld. Comming in near the accerater pedal near the fuelse box. God nows how its getting there
. We speayed water in everything nothing happerd. Washed my car i did then later on it was dripping againe. Seems to do it when the cars standing.
You can open the fuel box.And put your finer where the wiers are and you can feel the water. My carpet is soaking it is.
It wasnt damp when i got the car.
Noticed it about week ago. Cleared the drin offs in the enginen. Thought nothing of it. Then it started happerning againe. The drain offs had nothing in them.
Does anyone have the same problerm. Or know where its comming from
THANKS

Does it have a sunroof? If so, then here's your fix. This happened to one of my Laguna IIs. Pull out the wheel arch liner. There is a sunroof drain hose just behind it and in front of the drivers door. This will be clogged up. When you release the blockage you'll know about it!

It's the drain that delivers water from the sunroof tray to the road. Very easy to unblock.

Open the sunroof fully and at each front corner you will see a drain hole , pour a bit if water down and see if it leaks inside , as Luke said it's an easy job to sort if it is this , when ours got blocked the water came in behind the sun visor

Right i put water where into the sunroof. The passeger side drines out where it should do. But the driver side leaks from the top of the pillor. Then leaks down the botton of the foot weld. I removed a bit of the trim. To see it leaking near the top of the pillor
Is it block up from the bottom. Or come lose at the Top.

Gently pull the plastic wheelarch liner away from the bottom of the wheel arch and there is a tube with a rubber cap/flap , remove this and see if it drains now . If it still continues try a blast with an airline , generally crud accumalates at the bottom of the drain , I used a long cable tie to clear it
