I have a swishing sound when i turn right after heavy rainfall and then the water runs quite fast into footwell on passenger side, do you know where its probably coming in ....thanks Paul
Its the drain hole either side of the top of the firewall ,remove the plastic trim under the wiper arms and then clean the holes out ,also make sure that the AC drain pipe under the car passenger side is clear as well .LHD not sure where it is on a RHD vehicle but it will still have one

are you sure it's the washer bottle sounds like the heater core is gone if window is fogging up it's the heater core
SOURCE: water leak
Water leak test the windshield . Carpet should be removed and dried out, Replace matting if necessary, because it will NEVER dry. Look by front firewall floor for drippage. Windshield moldings must be removed if resealing is nec, and be sure to use a neoprene water resistant windshield sealer. Hope this helps.

It sounds like you may have a blocked drain in the evaporator box. This is where the heater core and evaporator are located.
If you look under the vehicle about where the heater is located, you should see a small tube sticking down ( plastic or rubber ) this should be he drain.
You can squeese the tube open and see if it will drain, If not it may be clogged up with dirt and debris that may require the box to be removed and cleaned.
Check the air inlet, usually located in front of the windsheild, just under the wipers for debris. Keep this area clear. If it has a lot of leaves or other things around it, it can cause water to build up and flood the evaporator box, as well as get down inside.
You may need to take this to a shop that can put it on a lift and get at the drain from the underside, they may be able to clear it without too much troble

Not familiar with the Volvo, but many cars (Toyota, Lexus, Acura, Honda, etc.) have drain holes at the corners of the sun roof assembly. These holes allow water that gets past the sunroof gasket to drain through tubes that carry the water to the bottom of the car, where it exits the car.
These drain holes are prone to clogging. If the Volvo setup is like those cars mentioned, you can see the front drain holes by opening the sunroof and looking closely at the two front corners of the assembly that holds the sunroof. I have used plastic weedeater line to open up these lines. Compressed air can also be used.
SOURCE: blower not working audi a3
Hi these could be unrelated, firstly check the heater blower fuse I had an A4 and the fuse had melted stopping the blowers from working, Im assuming yours is the digital type? anyhow if its not the fuse then Im afraid you have a more seriuos problem with the water on the floor it sounds like the heater matrix has burst this is the small radiator behind the dash that circulates the hot water for the fan to blow in. Although the water could be coming in from under the bonnet this is common on vw/audi's just under the windowscreen with the bonnet open below the wipers you will be able to see down into skuttle panel they sometimes get clogged up stopping the water from running off, and into the car instead there is small drain holes you will be able to see upon inspection leafs and muck normally clog them up.
If it is the heater matrix then it will be quite expensive!
