2014 water in both footwells

[seikokid]

Hello, I'm a custom owner but just recently bought a used 14 plate connect from trust ford. On delivery found water in the drivers footwell but figured it was from valeting.
closer inspection found both foot wells completely water ridden.

Have removed the seats and the flooring and found water under both seats and all sound matting soaked.

Can't find a definitive answer online and ford have told me there is a TB relating to the AC drain off but that doesn't answer the same amount of water in the passenger side

i had a similar issue in an old '98 audi and the problem was the drain hole in the bulkhead where the battery sat got clogged up, the bulkhead filled with water from the windscreen and then overflowed into the footwells where the ecu lived and wrecked everything

If there is a similar cause i would be interested please ??

Am i alone on this ? no one at ford is able to comment

Hi,
I bought a 2014 connect last September and had the same but only on drivers side.
I took it to a Ford dealer as it was still under the three year warranty.
They told me it was a known problem and had to apply a sealant.
I have no problems since.Cheers

Thanks - which ford dealership did you go to please? , was it from the AC run off pipe ?

Hi,
I went to Trust Ford Hounslow,West London,
I assumed it was coming through the bodywork,as they had to apply sealant and kept it for 24 hours.Cheers

Ok, got it done under warranty. It was the seal under the left hand side front wing. They had to remove the wings and replace both seals , they also re sealed the air con run off pipe in the centre console as that has been flagged up by ford as a technical bulletin of a known problem

I also had this its comes from the back of the van I drilled a hole in the floor pan and fitted a grommet don`t forget to paint the newly exposed metal.It can come through the upper sills I removed the step on the sliding door and filled it with expanding builders foam is because the false floor at the front of the load box is not water proof so any water inside the back of the van can leak through to the driver's cab. And through the wet sound proofing on the floor out and replace with rubber sound proofing and plumbers silver heat proofing.
