I discovered water in the passenger footwell of my 996 this afternoon again (I dried it on the weekend - the first time I discovered it after I bought it last week -) I thought that it was probably due to the cleaning done before selling me the car...

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

6 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I discovered water in the passenger footwell of my 996 this afternoon again (I dried it on the weekend - the first time I discovered it after I bought it last week -) I thought that it was probably due to the cleaning done before selling me the car... but after today I am starting to consider that there is a problem. It is strange as again there is no water on the drivers side, only on the passenger side.What could it be?Would this be covered by the Official Porsche Warranty that I just bought (my car is from 2000 & I just got the warranty last week)? If not what would you recommend to do? Thank you in advance for your advices! Migration info. Legacy thread was 43033

POST 2Original post

possibles would be door seal membrane sunroof drain tubes blocked poorly fitted windscreen heater matrix(i'm assuming as its a 996 its got the heater matrix where most water cooled cars do) Migration info. Legacy thread was 43071

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks Roddy. Do you think that this problem could be covered at no extra cost by the Official Porsche Warranty that Porsche gives to cars after they pass the 111 check point inspection. I just got this warranty last week. Migration info. Legacy thread was 43242

POST 4Original post

apart from the matrix(if it has one of course) i think it would be doubtful.........as they are all roughly trim-related Migration info. Legacy thread was 43325

POST 5Original post

I had this problem when my 996 was new (7 years ago). The dealer cleared it and told me it was the air con drain wrongly positioned. regards, Keith Migration info. Legacy thread was 44844

POST 6Original post

As stated I have heard of this problem on many cars. It is usually due to a badly positioned or blocked AC drain tube. Had it happen on my brand new Disco 3 so I got the dealer to remove and dry the carpets as well. This was covered on the warranty. Good luck. Migration info. Legacy thread was 44878
