Hi,

I have had water pooling in the wheel well in the boot and o/s/r passenger footwear. Dried it all out with wet vac, towels and dehumidifier but it came back.

Checked all the door seals (all fine), boot seal is fine as well removed carpets, back seat, and have traced it I think to a vent in the rear wheel arch (attached pictures), it appears to be coming in here running along a channel at the back bench and going under the seat down to the footwell.

The vent seems to be in good condition with only water on the bottom section of it. I used a hose in the wheel arch to find this but only a very small amount was coming through the vent so it must have been going a while :?

Has anyone had similar and if so did you manage to resolve it?

If you use Facebook I suggest joining the 'Nissan Pulsar C13 Owners Club'. Most of the people who were members here have migrated to that, and there is little activity here.

Hi, I had a similar problem after having some reversing sensors fitted. The technician managed to disturb the rubber grommet around cables that go to the rear light cluster.
I resolved this by removing light cluster ( not easy!) and applying a silicone sealant around grommet before repositioning.
