Default Water getting into car. Are these issues the same for a 2002 A6 4.2 as they are

for an A8L?? Would appreciate help from this forum, as A6 forum not real helpful.

After heavy rains: standing water in rear drivers side floor, very wet front drivers side floor, and wet mats on right side (front & rear) Saw water dripping down panel behind glove compartment. Most water in rear passenger floor.

Previously have had the following lines cleared: 1. drain from A/C compressor 2. Front cowl drains 3. sunroof drain lines.

Where is this water coming from??

Default Cowl Drains? There are actually 4 drains up in the engine bay. Nipple pinching is in order...

There are drains under the airbox and there are drains in the front wheel wells above the tie rod. Holler if I am unclear and/or search on nipple pinching or some variant of that.

Default I think cowl drains are at top of engine bay under the windshield wipers. I'll

I'll bite, what does nipple pinching mean? (as it refers to cars)

Default Look in your front wheel wells by the tie rod, you will see some "nipples".

but it sounds like you may have cleaned those. There are also drains under the airbox. Those are trickier to clean. As Tomas7 said, check audipages for that procedure.
