on my hunt for the ecu i lifted the passenger footwell carpet up....dont ask why,but i did lol

and two thing that i thought was strange

1.the floor is foam :s like 3" of it
2.there was a pudle of water! very deeep one too!!

the drivers side is dry as a bone..i dont know how it can get in.all the door seals look fine

any advice before i go shout at some sales people?

 

[runaway-robot]

Make sure one of your passengers didn't wee themselves.

Doesn't sound good though. Putting me off k12's a little all of these problems.

tis the only problem ive had so far...and this could be due to the accident i had (same side)

mite rip the whole carpet out on that side this week and try see where its coming from.

 

[micra man]

Yeah, just seems like a few people are having problems with them. Guess its inevitable with new cars though. Good luck in getting it sorted though.

 

[RIK]

think we have found the problem....will be stripped out and dry tomorow

 

[RIK]

oh...and ide go check your foot wells if you own a k12..it could be like this in yours

you need to pull the carpet up

 

[nismo_k12]

wheres the leak coming from?

 

[super_s]

all k12s have polystyrene under the carpet suppose its cheap and easy to fit and to remove the carpet you will have to remove your centre console as it goes all the way to front of the car under the console

 

[RIK]

i think its coming in from the boot and running to the front

sounds bad, take it back to the dealers to at least make them aware of the problem.

if your just checking...remove the kick panel and rubber door seal..then pull the carpet back..you will see it it is wet from there

stripped the whole car today..and cleard the water out .followed it back to the rear light(where i had the bump)

i have tried some silicone sealer around it..if it doesnt hold it can wait till after donny....

btw its very easy to strip a k12 and i will be doing in 2007...yes the cogs wer turning whilst i was working on it today ..

 

[RIK]

another update grr...tested it again to se if i had stopped it but no luck

got somone to hold the hose on the boot today whilst i was inside looking for the hole....and found it
its where the bodyshop (ADR )..had fitted a new quarter panell and missed abit where the panels join up wih there tar/sealer stuff.....not risking it before donny so ill take it back after
