Are you loosing water from the engine?

If not, the only place that the water in the footwell can come from is from the pollen filter area or the sunroof drain.

Check again to ensure the polen filter drain is clear.  I personally use a power washer jet in the bottom of the filter housing, just take care to avoid getting a facefull of smelly water.....

If loosing water from the engine, could be the heater matrix thats failed, but thats unusual...

I bet its the pollen drain....   :y

water should exit from the drain just behind the front wheel.  Take care not to get the smelly crud on your shoes....

If no water is draining out the water then enters the car via the pollen filter and heater fans system.  The water can short out the fans and knacker them plus you get foul water into the sponge foam under the carpets that seeps towards the rear of the car if parked uphill on a slope....

If you are sure the drain is clear, you could think about removing carpets and foam and drying them out.

A wet and dry vacuum cleaner can get a lot of water out, as can a hot air blower and a dehumidifier but good old fresh air is possibly the best and cheapest over a few dry days....

hotel 21 is spot on, i had this problem, i ended up getting a piece of cane and prodded the drain plug, a load of leaves etc came out..it was then a job getting all the carpets out and drying.
