Vauxhall Vectra internal leak

Beverley_Hillbillies

I have a Vauxhall Vectra 1.8 07 plate.

I parked the car yesterday and noticed excessive water leaking onto the tarmac from the rear nearside passenger seat.

Checking, there appeared to be a puddle of water inside the car based on the floor at the rear passenger seat.

I checked the nearside front seat flooring, that was also wet, no water appeared to be leaking from the engine.

I soaked the water up in the rear, parked the car in the garage overnight.

Today, although still wet, no excessive water inside the car, no sign of water leakage under the car.

Been out for a couple of hours, just checked inside, excessive water again on the nearside rear floor, yet, nothing under the engine indicating a leak.

Any idea's?

Thanks marlot, I'm not mechanically minded, but that answer has given what the cause may be.

I'm struggling with the description, but one of the most common leak points is the seal arond the aerial, it can be replaced or (as in my case) fixed with some clear silicone sealant or instant gasket without removing the offending item.

Vectra C has two scuttle drains one by the pollen filter and one by the wiper motor, both can get blocked the former will cause the OPs issue but make sure you clear both.
