ive got a drips of water coming out from under the drivers side dash, its dripping from a metal bracket/plate above the brake pedal mount and dripping over a little orange electrical box...... ive pulled the plastic grill of from under the front windscreen and cleaned it out. it was pretty clean, and its still leaking.... anyone know what it might be?... heatercore? windscreen seal?
thanks |

Is the water warm ? Does it smell like coolant ? Most likely the heater core is leaking

Get a hose and run it down the windscreen for 20 minutes then move it to run up towards the windscreen...just keep moving it around to see if you can pin point the leak. Does the rubbr look crappy in anyway?
Has it been in a smash or anything? is the braket hot or cold or just normal? does it only leak at certian times like when you are driving or only sitting still

its not the windscreen seal. ive pulled the plastic cowl cover off and stuck a hose in. the water starts to drain and then starts slowly dripping inside. its not a hose or ac problem. maybe a spot weld or something has broken or a seem seal or something... ive only had the car for two months. the guy i got it off claims it hasnt been in an accident but who knows.

So get the hose and a torch and get your head under the dash while the hose is running.

I had the same problem in my AU3 XR8. After some searching I followed the 'fix' and haven't had a problem since. Here's a link to Fordforums.com and pics of how to fix the problem. LINK - http://www.fordforums.com.au/showthread ... ing+waterl
