Hi - sorry for the delayed response. I did manage to get this leak sorted but I am not 100% on the solution. It could have been one of these 3 things: I took a look at the trim around the outside of the windscreen and the trim covering the roof pillars were put on before the windscreen scuttle, so this could have allowed the water to get in. So when installing the new windscreen, I ensured the installer put these on the right way around this time. Deep in the engine bay under the windscreen there is a big weld. The location of the weld pretty much lined up to where the water was coming in, so we applied a little sealant to this. I had a new windscreen fitted. The above 3 things were all done while replacing the windscreen, so I am not sure what element solved it but one of them certainly did. My guess is it was the windscreen, To echo what Paul H said, get your drainage holes checked out. If they fill with leaves and stuff the water will not flow through and it will eventially find it's way in somewhere! Hope this helps.

Thanks for the replies gents. It has no smell or taste so it is definitely water as apposed to coolant or anything more sinister. It does encourage me that if this is the first report of this it is probably the windscreen. Hopefully when it gets re-fitted this Wednesday the problem will be solved...

Hi, my 2008 C5 Exclusive has developed a leak! When it rains, the passenger footwell gets very wet. I had my mechanic check out the scuttle drains and they were all clear. I have had the windscreen replaced previously and have it booked to be re-fitted again (incase that is the problem). I have read in a number of posts and forums that the windscreen scuttle is a known issue, and Citroen have modified it to resolve this problem - does anyone have more information on this? Could it be anything else?? Has anyone else had this problem and resolved it? I can see a lot to do with the driver side leaking but not so much the passenger side... Here's a picture of the wet mess... http://i745.photobucket.com/albums/xx100/cianmathews/wetmess.jpeg?t=1398448151

Thanks fuzzybrush! That sorted it! It is a gimmick, but I do like to have all my gimmicks working

Hi, I have a late 2008 C5 Exclusive. Recently, I went to turn on the seat massager. It came one for a few seconds but then went off again. Now it does that each time I turn it on. Do you think the switch is just gone or could it be the 'massage innerds'? Has anyone else had a similar problem?
