I haven't driven my 997.1 for a week or two due to a coolant pipe split (waiting to get it transported to a garage to get it fixed). Anyway, I went into the front boot today to get out some stuff and found that the bottom of the boot is wet.
The side carpets don't appear to be wet and the drainage plugs in the battery compartment are not blocked. I also noticed that there was a lot of condensation (very damp) on the underside of the bonnet. Also, it was damp on the underside of the plastic lid above the Nav system.
I have a few questions..
I got an image of a 997.1 front boot on the internet and have marked it up...
- The area marked with a red line is where the boot seal touches
- The purple area is where it was very damp (hundreds of water blobs which looked like condensation)
- If I shine a light where the green lines are, it can be seen where I have marked a blue line!
Surely this means that water can track into the 'sealed' compartment?
So, is the underside of my bonnet getting damp due to the wet carpet, or is the carpet getting damp due to the water getting to the underside of the lid?
Any help would be great.
