After 3 days of hard rain and me being out of town,I noticed that my cabin was flooded!!!! About 2 inches of water on the driver side floor only!!! I got rid ov the water,dried the carpets,but my MMI,navigation system stopped functioning at all!!!!Two days later rained again,my cabin was getting wet again-freaky!!!This tme I noticed it was comming from the front!!!Guess what....water was cloged under the hood,where the water was draining from wipers and front windshield! How do I find the drains and get my Navigation working back again! I know the dealer will charge me a lot! Please help!!!
I had a similar problem, the cabin flooded and destroyed the computer under the seat. UK car 2002 2.4 v6. There seem to be several spots to check. Remove the grommet in the metal work under the battery to allow water to drain. Check plastic strip on the lower edge of the windscreen is clean and fitting snugly against the glass. Clean out old leaves etc. And check that all is sound around the aircon filter. Good luck.
Wow I thought they would have fixed this on the newer body style. My old 2000 A6 had the same issue. There is a drain in front of the bulkhead that gets blocked, in my case by pine needles from my tree. I used a coat hanger to clear it and then cleaned it every couple of months and no more drowning carpet. It used to be next to the battery(which they moved to the trunk) under the windshield wiper motor. I haven't checked the exact location on my 2005 but good to know it's still an issue.

Have same problem finding out where the drains are on my 2000 A4 2.5TDI on opening the bonnet and removing battery shield found water sloshing about all across the front bulkhead.
