Passenger Side Leak

[Guest LovelyTara]

i have a big big problem!!! :(

 

I'm sure that everytime it rains, i develop a leak on the passenger side of my C2 [front and back of car] I believe that the leak is coming in from the back, as its soaking wet at the moment; When it does leak it smells kinda mouldy, but other days it does not. :rolleyes:

 

Has anyone else had/have the same problem? or may know what may be causing this?

My C2 is a 2006 SX model.

Remove the rear lights and check that the wiring harness that connects them isnt getting trapped under the rubber seal when the lamp is refitted......if your really unlucky you might find the connector corroded that connects to the light.

 

.....having said that, 2006 model......isnt it under warranty?

It is under warranty, but about 6months ago i got hit from behind, and the rear end had to replaced [not to my cost] but i will have a look at the rear light cluster tomorrow.

Would you say this is whats causing the leak? As it ties in well with the rear re-build it under went.

Hi, I had rain water leaking into my C2 and gathering in the rear passenger footwell. It started quite suddenly and got rapidly worse. I thought at first I was imagining it.

 

My leak ran through the driver's door and out of a hole (drainage hole?) at the bottom. From there it ran into the footwell. I spent ages with kitchen towel and a hairdryer attached to an extension cord to get it dryed out. Once dry, I placed a piece of kitchen cloth as a wick to draw the water into a food container in the footwell until I could find the time to get it fixed.

 

I took my car to the Citroen dealer who diagnosed the fault as a faultly 'foil' in the door.

They had to order the part which came the next day.

 

Total cost of the repair was about £100, mostly labour, but they did provide a courtesy car.

 

Best of luck
