Off side plenum chamber drain
 
I have read plenty of threads about the near side plenum cavity. However, with all the recent rain, the driver's side of the windscreen started to mist regularly. This morning, I went around a roundabout and heard the sloshing of water. as a navigated around more roundabouts the sound lessened. When I got home I discovered that there was about an inch of clear water in the off side plenum cavity and the driver's mat and carpet was soaked.

I removed the bung on the left hand side of the plenum cover. It appears to be OK. Is there another drain in the cavity? I can't see one.

Have you actually removed the windscreen scuttle cover & looked inside the plenum where the pollen filter lives? That's where the drain hole is:cool:

Thanks!
 
Hi

Thanks to everyone for their contributions.

I located the drain, which was indeed bunged up. I then plunged a pipe bender through the drain and then I heard the welcome sound of water pouring on to the ground. :} :duh:

Thanks once again

All you have to do now is the inspection hole modification.

Next time you'll be able to rod it in seconds.---:D:D:D
