Focus 03 Reg rain in front passenger footwell

[johnny37]

My Focus 03 Reg 2.0 Ghia has got a puddle in the front passenger footwell after the recent heavy rain. It does not appear to be coming from the roof or the door. Is this a known problem? Ive never noticed it before so l wonder if the really heavy rain is forcing in somewhere.

it sounds like its leaking from the bulkhead, finding the exact spot is quite difficult, its worth checking all the rubber gromits on the bulkhead and the front grill under the bonnet(where the air comes in to blow on your feet) below the wipers, sometimes the grill gets blocked and this can cause the water to leak into the car as well

had a focus 01 model ghia. water pasenger side footwell on my one came from the air-con. apparrantly there is a pipe that comes out of the bulk head and vents to the ground that got blocked and the condensation dripped into the car.( a lot of it) if you can't find a leak it may be worth checking out.

Hi johnny I had the same problem on my Mondeo and it was the POLEN FILTER that is above passenger well.
I had to put some mastic round the housing lip of the bulkhead then re seat filter unit onto this, I was posted a link when I asked the same thing a while back hth Tez

I have just had the same problem on my 02 plate focus, you need to ensure that there is a good seal between the windscreen and the plastic trim what goes under the bonnet on the passneger side as the pollen filter is right underneath this located in the bulkhead. i took my car into a local windscreen repairer and they sealed it up with some mastic or according to the focus owners club sight u can buy a new part with new seal for about �12 from ford.. this is a very common problem with focus's
