In my last polo the drainage channels were blocked with leaves which caused water to get down onto the driver side floor.
In my gti I've cleaned this channels completely so that's not the problem.
When I get into the car the driver side floor is flooded. I've dried it completely twice now.
I put a few sheets of tissue on top of the car mat after drying it last night. It rained overnight so I checked the tissue to see if it was wet but it wasn't.
This leads me to believe the water is coming from underneath the car and not from the top. Could this be right?
Here's a photo I took tonight when I lifted the car may up
Any thoughts as to how to diagnose where it's coming? A floor plug?

Anybody any thoughts on this?
I sat inside the car while it was hosed down for 20mins and still no sign of anything.
Rained last night and again the mat is soaked but the tissue on top was dry.....

I've got experienced this but i did have a leon cooper r and the leak like a sieve.
check the door rubbers as it could be going under the carpet
or see if the plastic cover that sits above the pollen filter
and see if the pollen filter is seated correctly
hope this helps

An update on this for anyone needing in the future:
The leak was caused by my sunroof drains which I had originally checked and eliminated.
I cleared the gunk from these drains so ruled out a blockage and thought they were fine.
It turned out that the sunroof drain tube was disconnected inside the pillar and was leaking down in behind the fuse box area.
