My main plenum under the grill is about ten inches deep in water. I don't know how to clear it and the how to things didn't help either. It's flooding my glovebox through a foam covered vent!Anyone!?

I tried following that but to someone who knows next to nothing about cars they're not helping.

Have a watch of this as it will show you how to access the plenum on the side that's causing the problem.

Unfortunately it does not show the drain you need to clear which is under the ecu and will need "rodding" to clear the standing water.

sorry about the humour lol

I am no mechanic, not by a long shot, but the info gained here on the plenums now make it a simple preventative check.

The solution is simple as described in the various, and innumerable threads on this Club's forums

My advice would be follow the video to take off the plastic panels then shine in a torch, you should see the water,and then use something like this just to pump out the water untill you can find someone to show you how to do it the right way, http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/PETROL-SYP...item519ed50248
