Title: Wet floor
Post by: rallyfan33 on July 14, 2011, 02:24:16

I searched and didn't see anything on it, but my wife returned from a trip in a downpour and the floors have puddles!  Under the hood, when the heater fan is blowing, a tube at the bottom of the firewall spews water.  Is this common from driving in a lot of water?  I traded in my leaky VW for this and here we go again...

I don't think it should spew water like that... there is definitely a problem, I had a car like that but it turned out there was something wrong with the window?

Is it happening on both sides or just the one?

it could be the aircon drain pipe that's leaking water .  :idea: if you have a sunroof the drain pipes could be leaking into the car.  :idea:

Thanks all so far!  I haven't had a chance to spend more than 10 mins looking- but I spoke to Hyundai and they said to check the cabin filter box.  It may have plugged drains and I will look at the sunroof drains too.  I do not have any trees near my driveway or where I work but I guess dust and grime can build up.  I've had the car 24 months and it rains a lot here so it has to be something fixable... it never got wet a bit before.
I'll post my findings.

So the Hyundai dealer stripped my interior, dried it out and searched very closely for a source of leak.
Nothing.
Drove in 2 rainstorms since.
Nothing.
Totally mystified, but seems there is no leak, just a freak soaking.  Crazy!  (But happy there is no leak!).
Thought I'd update!
