I normally wouldn’t if there was more dealers around.

This is mine when car is off. The flap should be closed. Mine doesn’t have the issue leaking when it rains. Only drips from the aircon pipe.
Are you seeing the water coming into the passenger footwell or drivers side when using the AC in the rain? I have the issue of it pulling water through the cabin filter vent on the passenger side, which stops completely when switched to recirculation (closing the vent). Looking at the cabin filter/vent with the cover off it seems to pull the water right through. Solved completely (for now until fixed by dealer) by switching over to recirculate.
Hi @Andiamo, many vehicles have exactly this problem. So does my vehicle, by the way. You have described it exactly. Ineos recognises the problem in connection with the heat exchanger. There are leaks here that need to be repaired. As I understand it, however, the entire dashboard has to be removed to fix it. The effort involved is not insignificant.
Just last weekend I encountered water drips on the driver side rubber floor mat (LHD). Only on the mat and not under it. First real test of the AC in high heat & humidity, but absolutely zero rain.
Hi @Tom109 as stupid as it sounds. There are two types of water droplets. If you drive for a long time when the outside temperature is high and the air conditioning is switched to very cool, the water mainly drips onto the floor mats on both sides directly at the air vent openings on the centre tunnel.
Currently the fix is from Ineos is to change the micro filter/cabin filter. The new filter has foam on. Personally I doubt it would fix it. Got my car back yesterday and yet to test out. Waiting for a hot day.

I hope so too. The reason why I’m doubtful is the droplets is from the side of the central console (passenger side) running down onto the floor. It’s no where near the cabin filter or underneath.Footwell Water Ingress - cabin filter

Hopefully, you could get it fixed with first TSB.
No, I do not think LH footwell water ingress is due to rain, generally due to high humidity from most users. Rain does not seem to be a consensus on that issue. I think just about every comment relating to this is during higher-than-normal humidity. I particularly notice it when my vehicle leaves my garage where internal temp is lower than external ambient + humidity. Almost instant water drops forming and going in to the left hand footwell.
My view is this has absolutely nothing to do with cabin filter... blockages of such or any other issue relating to cabin filter or adjacent elements. I have been keeping an eye on this for nearly 10 months and going to dealer soon to get it fixed. It nearly 100% occurs whenever humidity is over 80%. Sometimes occurs at 70%. Condensation and will need to be fixed. I am not accepting a part time repair or 'it will be ok' statement. Water sits on the bottom of footwell (metal) between my mats and will eventually causes series issues.
Agree with you totally. I’ve been informed there is a new fix which involves some padding/insulation of the pipes. So glove box and heater unit needs to be removed. Mine happens occasionally as the weather in the UK is not as humid and good job I got rubber mats (which it drips onto)
