Omega General Help / Re: Back seat footwell flooding

« on: 26 October 2010, 12:29:25 »

Just managed to get out in between heavy rain showers and BINGO majesticlarge was bang on with his diagnosis and pictures. I managed to lift up the plastic cover just under the bonnet although I could not get it all the way off, and then I could see under what I think is the Pollen Filter. And there was water sitting there about 7 or 8 inches deep. I managed to get to the water outlet thanks again to majesticlarge's photos and when I stuck my finger in under the flap it was filled with thick dirt I guess it has been gathering there for an awful long time. I then stuck a small screw driver up the out let and all the water suddenly came flying out bringing with it all the dirt that was blocking it. All I did then was put a hose pipe down below the pollen filter and flush out the area around the water outlet to make sure akk the dirt had gone.
So thank again majesticlarge I could not of done this without your help.
I hope this may help others that may have the same problem,
I am off to my local valeter now to get the carpets dried out with there suction cleaners and I hope that this will be the last of this annoying problem
Thanks again for all your input guy

Thanks again guys I will try the front end first but there was about 5" of standing water in the rear foot well and only a small amount in the front it was only wet when presse,. that's why I thought it was coming in from the back but we all know that this kind of problem can be a real pain to get to the bottom of. And I got up this morning and guess what it raining again

Thanks guys,
 I have only just got back to the lap top so cant check till tomorrow now, but these tips sound great the photos and how to by (majesticlarge) are great, I think it would be a lot wetter in the front foot-well if that was causing the problem but I think its a great tip for anyone with an Omega just to check now and then as part of your routine maintenance. I will start at this point but the Door membrane sounds like it is the cause if the door drains are blocked so I am hoping that this will stop the problem.
The front well did get a little water but I think it had flowed over from the back once the rear foot-well was up to about five inches deep it runs over the hump where the front seat is fixed. Well wish me luck and I will report back once I have checked everthing out tomorrow.
Thanks again everyone much appreciated.

Hello everyone, I hope someone can maybe save me some time, I have got a severe problem with water leaking into the rear passenger side foot-well when it rains. It happens when the car is parked on my drive so its not coming in from underneath. I have checked all around the door seals but can find no obvious wholes can anyone offer advice on where to check next.... Please
