Hi all,

So, bit of a strange one, although it might be something really well known / obvious.

On my UK (RHD) 2001 P38, I get water in the passenger footwell when it's rained and I put the air con on or heater on (so when the fans come on basically). If it's rained and I don't have the fans on, no water. I can put the fans on all day when it's dry out without a problem.

So what I think is happening is water is getting into the system somewhere when it rains, then when I put the fans on it opens the flaps and the water runs down into the footwell.

The water appears to be coming from somewhere near the ODBII port which might explain why I can't connect to the EAS ECU :(

Anyway, what should I be looking at first?

Check drains at either side of scuttle panel are not blocked. Check if pollen filter box is leaking.
