    wet footwell?

    There is water dripping from behind the back of the glovebox onto the carpet.
    I have been running the aircon non stop and think it may be related to this.

    Has anyone had this happen and what do I need to do to fix it?

    Probabaly coming down from pollent filter. When was the last time you cleaned the leafs ?

    If not it could be coming from one of the gromets.. Had the same problem few weeks ago, water was running in throught the Amp cable. Gave it some slack, it was much better.

    Any other suggestions ??????

    You saying you removed the pollen filter & cleaned all the leaves out?

    No idea. I just bothered to take the time to read soundofav6s post And was surprised when you said you'd already done the job.

    Quite likely the drain hose for the AC is blocked with leaves, kinked, perished, whatever. Try geting unederneath (2 whhels up on gutter & poking some coat hanger wire up the drain tube or blowing some compressed air up there. Maybe even pull the fan out (3 screws IIRC) and pull all the rubbish out.

    Are the drain holes up in the plenum clear? (the ones that let the water drain into the mudguards)

    thanks.

    Google Golf Mk3/III pollen / cabin filter removal/change/replacement will give plenty of hits. Also will show where all the leaves hide & the drains are.
