footwell

It looks like leaks are fairly common on here, but I don't see exactly this. I've only had the car since January, so I've only experienced it a couple of times, but I've glanced down to see the passenger footwell is soaking wet. The second time it happened, I was lucky enough to see what was...

No its not a new option... woke up this morning to find my passenger footwell with very,very wet carpet. Anybody else had the same after rain ? This is before I get started on x2 flat batteries, IBS making decisions on s/s and rear window demist, struggling with support from Alfa. Thinking of...

Went to check on my stored Spider p1 yesterday and was met with a pint or more of coolant in driver's footwell :disappointed: I'm guessing some kind of heater issue - is there a common point of failure on these? I still have the suspect clutch master to deal with too.

Hi - I know this has been covered before, but the search function isn't working. I've just had the tracker in my QV updated and the fitter notices the sound deadening material in the passenger footwell was damp. Now it could be my daughter has dropped water, but looking unlikely - especially...

The drivers footwell gets wet in heavy rain. I’ve cleared the drain holes under the scuttle panel but it’s still happening. I can feel it dripping off the back of the trim below the steering wheel. I initially thought it may he air con related and coming from that vent but it’s definitely...

There was one instance last year where the drivers side footwell filled with water during a rain storm. I thought I maybe hadn't closed the door properly and put it down to my stupidity. The car stank for ages after it dried but it never happened again, until now. This time I know for certain...

147, LHD. It only fills with water on the passenger site, aka where in your RHD cars is the drivers seat. It happens when it rains, car is stationary. What I did: Clean under the scuttle panel. Refitted both wheelarch bungs. Small bunges near the hinges of the doors, refitted. Poured some...

I've got an Alfa 147 with a almost always wet passenger footwell. It's a LHD car. Weird thing is it doesn't correspond to rain. It rained last 3-4 days while the car was stationary and not a drop entered. Checked it this morning, perfectly dry. Now, this evening - soaked footwell. The car...

Recently found water in the rear of my 159 (drivers side rear) so frantically searching for a leak in the back ,I then move up to the front to find the front is actually wet under the carpet I have removed the carpet front and rear now plus trims ect . I found the source of the leak dripping...

Hello! I want to make a footwell light on my Alfa 159. I think I can power it by a relay that is activated by the interior lights. For that, I need information from where I can get a permanent live, which in the relay (when activated) to power the footwell lights. Is the permanent live from the...

I have been visiting a few Alfa dealers to check out deals on a new Veloce and have discovered some huge discounts before June 30th.As a result, I've been in and out of a dozen showroom cars and I find it a bit disconcerting that where the LHD pedals would be there is a plastic cover under the...

Recently purchased a 147, shortly after purchase I noticed the passenger footwell was getting wet when it was raining. Upon investigation I discovered it was dripping down from behind the glove box, so I removed the glove box and found the water was coming from a short rubber hose up behind the...

Hi im trying to fit led strip lights in the footwells . So far ive put the earth with to the body and tried to put the possitive to the interior light bulb conection, which works . But the leds shows a trickle power when the interior lights have gone out. How do i overcome this.

Hello, I’m thinking of fitting footwell lights. I don’t want them to be constantly on, just to light up when I open the door (like the puddle lights). Has anyone done this (to be on only when doors are open) ? Any tips? I looked through the forum but there are too many of topics (even when...

Intended using the car last night only to find the rear near side foot well very wet and about 1cm of standing water in it. No sign of water getting in anywhere any ideas why? Currently tipping down so no chance of cleaning it up and i had not used the car for about 5 days.

Hi This is my first post I have a 61 plate 1.4 multiair 170 I love the car, theres a few niggles ie a rattle from the front window air vent from time to time which disappears when I press down on the vent, and the radio is terrible I can only pick up a couple stations. However, the main...

Hi All, Just got back off holiday and the 147 has give me another little problem to sort... Lifted up the mat in the passenger foot well and there is a slight hint of moisture, a few times my wife said she could feel ice cold water coming out of the foot blower (Air con is always on) but I...

I have a saturated front passenger footwell current, really disappointing as she covered over 600 miles without any real issues and I was in great comfort and not tired at either end. So I removed the scuttle to check drain hole into engine bay, area was free of water and the hole clear. I...

Guys - some advice please. My Bella has been locked away in the garage for the last month, so all nice and dry. However the passenger footwell is pretty sodden with a greasy fluid. Any ideas?? This has happened before but and it is becoming a real pain having to keep drying it out. Particularly...
