water in passenger foot area after parked overnight in torrential rain.....
Rained really hard in CA a few days ago it. I had maybe a half cup of water accumulate in the passenger foot area dripping from just shy of the firewall. I'm sure there is a hole for the wire harness coming through above but wondered if anyone else has had this and what they determined, if possibly just too much water for the drain that exists.

I have that open area too and I think it may be a cavity vent though plugged....
during undercoating so undercoating did not clog it unintentionally. Since my car was parked and accumulated some water that hole is not related. Thanks anyway.

I've looked at the hepa filter comp. cover with great suspicion, wondering where the rain
would go in a situation like your's, ie: parked in a heavy rain. Would have to take the filter out to see past it is all.

I'm thinking water flooded the compartment and just went where it could since could not drain fast.
I'm sure there is just a 1/4 inch drain with a hose for the ecu compartment and when it fills with water probably hit the wiring harness entry grommet/hole which may be on a horizontal panel as I noticed in a race prepped A4.
