@fazi123 I've seen this on mine on be passenger footwell and have seen the water trickling down from near the front of the door panel close to the glove box. Was doing some reading and someone mentioned might be the sunroof and noticed you have one too so might be a similar issue.
Let me know how you get on :happy2:

So a bit of a update on my car then!
The wet pasenger foot well issue has finally been resolved! It turns out the drain from the sunroof had been dislodged so it was leaking into the footwell.
What else has gone on in the mean time -
I've also had my pre-cat removed by the guys over at @AKS - was a bit of a pain as one of the studs had snapped!
While I was there I also asked them to check my PCV and DV valves - both of which were pretty damn old so I got them changed too.
Oh I picked up some Millers Nanodrive and a filter too!
I also purchased an ITG Maxogen filter which I've actually just sold as its way too loud for my liking!
I've been over to R-tech and let @rtechniki work his magic and WOW - to say I'm impressed is a major understatement.
Things planned :
345mm brake upgrade : Purchased
Braided brake hoses : Awaiting delivery
Another intake...I'm aware they will all make noise but having had what is widely recognised as one of the loudest (ITG) hopefully the next will be quieter... :smiley:
Some sort of suspension overhaul - My passenger shock is leaking like a mofo
Upgrade / renew the bushes - Not sure whether to go OEM or polybush as its my daily drive for now...
Some better tires as the current ditchfinders are crap! - but these can wait as they were replaced just before I got the car
I was also planning on getting highline clocks installed but cos of my older style MFSW I cant navigate through it. Many attempts were made with @RetroRaz and he's multiple clocks but it was in vain as I just couldn't get them to work off of my stalk!
Updated pics of the car / dyno graph / results to follow when I get home! - on the train as....
Unfortunately my GTI is in the garage again! @rtechniki had mentioned the timing chain was rattling quiet badly and I had noticed it was sounding louder then a petrol should so I decided I'd get that changed before I suffered the same fate as @Peskyjones and he's car. I'm hoping I will have it back tomorrow / Early Friday and get back to enjoying it again :smiley:

I'm not so happy with it just now - Trust me! - but I figured I'm going to keep this car forever as I've invested more money into it then anybody else would be wiling to pay for it so I may as well spend a little more and get it running sweet.

What's the chain fix setting you back @fazi123 ? Looks like me and you have very similar issues with our cars as I've just noticed the Leak on my drivers side now!! :signLOL:
