Water coming through by pedals?

Featured Replies

Ok so, we have had heavy rain recently, however, I haven't travelled through deep water. Today is the first day this has happened, as I was going up steep hill I felt water on my feet and also going over a speed bump. I put my hand up by the clutch and it was dripping from somewhere, think it is more the clutch side than the gas... 

Idk if I should go to my local Ford garage to get this fixed or how easily is it to do myself? 

In the meantime when it rains should I cover anything?? 

Just worried as my car is in very good condition and I don't want the water to ruin the mats or anything 😞

Super grateful for any tips/help



To save yourself lots of labour costs, get a good torch, pull the seat right back and recline it, get your head in the footwell whilst someone holds a hose pipe on the windscreen area.

You should see where it's coming in from then, could just be a popped grommet

This problem has come up more than once regarding the water by the pedals with the KA. See this thread for the answer posted 7th June.

Forgot to update on this, but the 2 drain holes underneath the bonnet were blocked with leaves etc, cleaned out & no issue since 

Nothing worse than water coming in a car 🥵 We had water coming inside our old Pug' 405, turns out it was coming from the sunroof, each corner had pipes which took away the water, pipes leading to the bottom of the wings, a big spider had made itself a nice home in one of the pipes, the silk blocked the pipe, water backed up the pipe flooding inside the car, after that happened i used to remove the wheel arch liner every 3 months and check no spiders was making itself a home.

Except maybe a massive spider appearing from above a sun visor while you're cruising on the motorway... 😮

I can actually beat that hands down pal! Some ten years ago we renewed our shed and bagged up the rubbish, whilst cleaning out the crap I saw a mouse nest even mentioning it to the missus but it never entered our heads to this....''Where is the mouse or family'' 😝 Turns out a single mouse had ended up in one of the bags of rubbish, as we drove to the skip the mouse came out and ran amuck inside the car, missus screaming her head off with me dodging the jumping wee thing, it went wild, car stopped quickly both of us jumping out, we watched the mouse exit the car 😆 🤣 😆
