I have discovered that my passanger carpets are soked (right hand drive no sunroof) I took at the carpet and the insulation and underlay was soked. So after spending about an hour with a hairdryer drying the insulation, underlay and carpets I did some research on what could lead to my carpets becoming wet and I have so far eliminated the following:
- A/C drain hose clogged/broken
-Scuttle and windscreen drains
-Fresh air inlet letting in water
I started thinking that my heater core might be leaking or the hoses leading to it might be leaking. This is supported by the fact that I have a unsolved coolant leak. But the carpets dont smell like coolant but there is no standing water to see if its coolant or not as all if it got absorbed by the insulation and underlay.
So what are some ways to check if it is the heating core. And if it is can I just bypass the coolant pipes from entering into the cabin through the firewall and into the heating core becuase I have never had the need for heating considering I live in Australia.
