Peugeot 205 - Flooding!

[TW3]

Our 1990 Peugeot 205 Diesel suffers from severe water ingress every time it rains heavily. The water appears in the rear footwells, but I just cannot see how it is getting there. Has anyone els had similar problems?

Check all the drainage holes in the sills/underbody are not blocked. IIRC there are 2 in the front wheel arch, one underneath at the front, 1 in the reart wheel arch and maybe another underneath.

I had exactly the same problem. Doing what Carl suggests solved it straight away - although the drying out process took quite a lot longer!

Let me know how you get on with fixing the water coming in. I have alot of water coming in at the boot behind the rear window water resevoir. can't seem to get it sorted.
