Default A4 2002 Water Leak Driver side

Hi,
As the title stated after rain I have water on the driver side floor. Anything you guys suggest that I can do? I don't see any more materiel that is also wet and I have no clue where it's comming from...

It's only on the driver side...Any DIY??

Anyone?

Default any mods?

if so, could be related to opening of teh ECU. In teh early days of B6 tuning a few careless installers contributed to similar water leaks.

Default The ECU box is sealed to the plenum sheet metal, the seal/gasket may be leaking,...

The plenum water drain tube/s could be clogged with leaves and similar debris, provoking obscure leaks like that. The ECU box to body joint is never submerged under water with proper water drain tube function. Test using a garden hose without a nozzle, directing water into the plenum vertically from above, place hose within ~2" of the plenum floor, pointing down. The drain tube has a rubber "duck bill" one way check valve on the discharge end, trash gets stuck at the one way valve even with a clear drain inlet. The drain tube should flow at least 1 liter/min. (guess-timate)

Default Check the wheelwell for a large rubber grommet, make sure that is set good/in good shape.

Possible stone could have dislodged or something
