05 Corsa scuttle water leak
« on: 18 July 2017, 21:04:43 »

Oh font of all knowledge that is OOF...or anyone else

05 Corsa, (rain) water leak into passenger footwell. Starting to whiff of swamp, so I assume it's rain water- engine coolant level the same as it was in 2005. I rarely drive the car, but I have noticed water dribbling from the passenger side foot-well blower vents in the past. I've just stuck my hand down all the nooks and crannies in the scuttle around the battery but can't feel anything wet, or any area full of leaves.

Are there any common water traps in the scuttle on these Corsa's?

my sister had a 2006 corsa c and when I changed the battery I noticed some rot around a drain grommet hidden down the side of the battery/front scuttle bulkhead area so I'd take the battery out (horrible knuckle grazing job) and have a look.

Rubber panel / grommet behind the windscreen water bottle  :-\

I sealed the lads 54 plate with a can of spray carpet glue  :y
Just remove the scuttle and squirt away  :y

Probably something similar passenger side  :y

Ta for the tips - I'll take another look tonight.

Last time I tried to do anything on this car, I failed trying to change the battery and ended up throwing the damn thing at the dealers.

I'm trying to work up enough enthusiasm to try and get the battery out. Never managed it yet in 14 years of ownership.
