had same problem and it was definitely scuttle drain 

[mrgreen]

water ingress has gotta be one of the most annoying problems my wifes polo had two leaks one where the autobody shop hadn't replaced a wing bolt! and the second in the back door and this needed a new window winder mechanism to fix it god knows why but they gladly charged us €200 to do this! i geuss they know what they're doing as it hasn't leaked since

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
