Wet footwells,heater fan stopped working

I have noticed a trickling water sound when i first turn the fan on and cannot hear or see anything when I lift the bonnet.The last couple of days i have noticed the car is steaming up when parked and hen driving to work this morning the heater fan stopped working altogether. I have just been and checked and although the heater is working again I noticed the front footwells are both wet.

SOURCE: i have an audi a4

This is a common problem with your shape A4, pre 2001 A4s and old shape A6s. Rain water builds up in the area under the bonnet where your battery is. This can be accessed by removing the long black trim under the windscreen covering the battery. This area has two drain holes with small rubber tubes on it, these tubes get blocked over time by leaves, dirt etc. They need to be unblocked, and the tubes can be completely removed (and left off). This is much easier to do underneath the car but at least one can be done from the top. Its under the battery though. Be aware when you disconnect the battery, you will lose your radio coding.
It needs to be done though as if the water is coming in the car then it must be high. The water has most likely damaged your convenience control unit (electronic control unit) under the carpet of the footwell, this controls the failed electrical items you described. The water can cause further problems, electrical as it submerges the battery! And brakes as the brake servo can **** the water in causing many problems! Well worth getting it out sooner rather than later. Hope this helps and hasnt scared you too much. Good luck

SOURCE: heater fan blowing intermittently or not at all

Most likely it does, if you can hit the motor and it will run. I can't say for sure but you might want to chk. to see if you got a heater blower motor resister. There located (if its got one) around the heater motor and it controls blower speeds, might be worth checking out.

SOURCE: Ticking sound

Gm will tell you this is normal lifter noise if it from the top of the motor. It could be from the exhaust but you would hear it from under the car more. I do not care for the responce from GM but they say it is ok.

unhook your battery unplug the harness that's touchy get a sharp object that you can pry the connectors together with you will see them wide open crimp then tight enough to get a good tight fit, the amperage draw from the motor has stretched them out and when it gets warn with current passing threw it opens up and loses contact. while it's apart take a emory board and clean the flat spades on the other side so you have a good connection.

Water in rear footwell driver side

Open the both doors on the affected side , and swing open and close if you hear sloshing you may just have a blocked drain hole in the doors, if you hear nothing then check the rubber seals on doors and trunk , if seals are ok and no water in door I'd see if the rear washer line has broken , air con freeze could be an issue but would be more to the front than rear

Renault Megane Dynamique 1.6 2004 - Heater fan stopped working - wet front footwells

Im almost sure that your problem is a broken or leaking heater core and needs to be replaced cose 1 your coolant level allways will be low due to the leak and 2 it could damage your blower fan motor. if in winter time you need the heat fixit... If not you could cancel the 2 waters hoses going to the heater core. hope this helps.

Water in firewall

Your heater core is getting bad. It will gargle also when it gets air locked. Is your heater working fine? Check fluid level. When the heater core goes, you may slowly get wet feet. Hope this is helpful

The heater in my 1994 Ford laser hatchback has died.Any clues please?

When you say your heater, do you mean the fan does not blow. or no heat fan blows fine. If it does not blow. The fan is located in the passenger side footwell, Turn fan to high and wack it a couple of times on center of cicular lookin thing, easily replaced by removal of screws around outside. If the fan works fine and it blows cold air make sure temperature adjustment knob is workin fine, you should hear it change when adjusting. One other thing, if someone just flushed your radiator or anything similir to do with coolant, check for a air bubble in the system, purge air out of heater core lines with a garden hose.
good luck

2003 passat sedan. water on floor and in heater fan

I don't think it has anything to do with the sunroof. I think you have a leak either around the windshield or under the cowl where the wipers are attached. If it's in the cowl area probably over the blower motor housing on the right and the water is following the vent system to the drivers side. Please let me know how you made out.

Thank you
