I read a few threads on what seems to be another not to uncommon problem on these vehicles (2002 Jetta TDI Auto).
I found a pool of water on and under the carpet/padding of the driver side.
I checked the sunroof drains and door drains, they seemed okay. The rubber seal around the door and door's frame seem to be okay.
Today I did a different test. On each front corner of the sunroof there is a drain hole that connects to the drain hose on the post of each front door. I poor water on the passanger side hole and the water came inmediatelly through the drain hose on the passenger door.
I did the same on the other hole, the driver side, and the water did not come out its drain hose at all except a few drops. And I poor much more water on this corner than in the first one!!! Where did the water go? I tried to see if it came into the cabin where is already wet (somewhere between the firewall and the floor) but I could not see anything.
What can I do? Is the hose plugged? Disconnected? Where did the water go?
