Anyone know how to get the floor up in the front of a MK2?

Postby Ripp » Tue Jan 17, 2023 9:21 am

I need to see if I have water under the floor (see here: viewtopic.php?f=54&t=220622&p=1787749#p1787749), from what I can see it looks like the floor is possibly one large piece of rubber that covers both the driver and passenger side so I'd need to remove all 3 seats and the plastic centre console that's under the middle seat and possibly some of the plastic cowling around the centre of the dash below the gear stick? Unless the rubber floor is actually in multiple pieces in which case I could do the drivers side separate to the passenger side maybe to make things easier?

If anyone has had their floor up I'd appreciate some I sight to how it's done before I just start pulling things out.

*yawn* it's a shame none of you have treated me or my posted topics with respect or I would have helped you with this cause I removed the front flooring in order to access the dead peddle/foot rest..

I tried PMing you a while back but your profile is set to not accept PMs. Would you be kind enough to link to where you explain pulling the floor up?

I did try that and couldn't see anything floor related.

Found this single imagae online, no actual instructions, doesn't look like a quick job. Ideally I'd want the floor out for a number of days while I leak test but I'd still need the van drivable in the meantime so not exactly sure how I'm going to do it other than strip out all the seats and relevant dash parts, remove the floor and then put everything back in minus the floor, then leak test and hopefully find and fix the leak then strip it all out again to refit the floor.

According to YT I've actually already watched that but don't seem to remember seeing it so thanks, I'll add that to the list of places to check.

BTW , have you done the cooling system pressure test, as i advised...this may save you a lot of trouble ..as pressurerising to 15 psi ..will turn small leak into drip and reveal all. if the leak is from heater matrix or associated hoses.

No because I don't believe I'm loosing any coolant, I have marked the header tank though to make sure.
