Hi All

A couple of weeks ago I had cause to slam on the brakes and ended up getting a foot bath for my left foot, plus a small puddle on the driver mat. I did the same again with the same result. Kept driving and rocked the steering wheel sharply from left to right and I could hear water sloshing around.

It sounded like it was behind the steering column, and nothing to report on the passenger side.

Fast forward 2 weeks and now no sloshing water noises nor foot baths.

Seems like the accumulation resulted from the downpours a few weeks back and the dry weather since has given the reservoir a chance to slowly drain? I haven’t seen any puddles under the car so can’t confirm.

Assume though this is more likely to be a drain blocked so water can”t get out, rather than a leak and water getting in where it shouldn’t?

Anyone had similar or any suggestions?

Car is 2006….163hp diesel automatic version.

Regards
