Anyone know what a puddle could be inside of the drivers side footwell in a enzo? cars been left in a garage for a month or so.. theres quite a bt of water in there too! Clear water not viscous or anyhting? car doesnt seem to be overheating?

Do the radiator pipes go via the drivers side of the tub? i dont mind if its window washer but if its somting else i may sack off bringing it out for vw

Could well be water from the air conditioning system.

My old mans 456 used to get it a lot and it was a known problem. The pipe gets blocked and water goes into the footwell. Loads of it used to come out when cornering and go all over your feet..

Sounds like it could be the same thing.

Hi

I suspect the condensor is in the front compartment, and has probaly leaked through into the footwell.

not quite the same league, but i had this in my maserati years ago. it was the heater matrix which was situated somewhere behind the glove box area. cheap fix but hard to get at.

ok, on a serious note.

does the wet patch smell of anything other than water?

if not then the chances are it's ac related.
Was the AC on last time you used it? if so then it could easily be from the condenser
(both my cars have wet patches when i stop after using the ac....but they are outside the car)

if it smells or has a consistency not conducive with water then you may wish to err on the side of caution, or at the very least have a chat with HR.

failing that have you spoken to anyone on club scuderia?

if you're not registered there let me know and i can post something for you.


i stil think it would be more interesting if you had a female passenger who didnt want to let on how much she enjoyed the last trip wink

Spoke to my boy at hr he said most likley pipe is blocked for the ac. its a clear and non scented like water. He wants it in on monday and said its advisable not to use it before then. Then again thats why they call it advice smile

Bugger. I was really really looking forward to seeing the Enzo, wanted to take some nice photos of it.
Oh well, I'm sure whatever metal you decide to drag along will be equally impressive.

fair enough,
it's not worth risking the car for the sake of a blocked pipe...although i do agree advice is just advice wink

the oldest form of AC is fresh air of course........

see you on sunday whatever you decide TJ
