I have noticed a water (?) leak when I was turning a corner today. It actually happened twice. I did notice both times I heard something turn on behind the guages then the water came down.

...any clue?

Leaking water???

clean airconditioner or air intake on hood drain tubes that come out under the car.

How? Like this post? LINK Unfortunately this was not happening when it was raining. My leaking occurred on a hot sunny summer day. Again I heard some motor turn on, then the water started running.

thanks,

It may have been just sitting in there then sloshed out as you went around the corner, started moving etc. Happens on any type of car not just ours.
Then again maybe your heater core is leaking coolant

Hey, are you a writer for one of those "other" p-car magazines?

My car had water come out of the same spot just recently. The fix was the clear the drain tubes. I know your car's problem isn't when its raining but I still think the same fix is relavent. The 964 has two drain tubes. One for rain water and the other for water from the air conditioner condensor. There is a vent that is centered in the car above the tunnel. Its hard to see but that is where the water was coming in my footwell.

I suggest trying to clear your drain tubes. It only takes a few minutes. Just jack up the right front and poke a wooden stick (1/4" dowel) into the two drain tubes. See the photo posted by JasonAndreas on this thread. The tubes are in the opening of the black cover plate. https://rennlist.com/forums/964-forum/212933-water-pours-on-my-feet-out-of-lower-heater-vent.html

If that isn't your problem, then it hasn't cost you much. Let us know what you find.

Unfortunately I haven't been able to jack up the car safely yet. I will ASAP. BUT a little update. Again happened again but this time over the inside passenger side. (see pics) This is A LOT of water that comes down...still think it's the drain tube? Does a pump or something turn on before draining? Each time I hear a noise then the water fall begins.

If it's not raining, then the water has to come from your a/c, or we're barking up the wrong tree. If you don't use the a/c, do you still get water? And yes, there's a lot of water from the a/c system, you should see it under the car on a humid day after running with the a/c on. It'll even drip off the hoses under the sills, condensed from the outside air.

If you're sure it's water, and it's not raining, my money's on a clogged a/c drain.

Puma,

That is the exact same place my car had water coming in. If you feel around, you will find there is an opening in the bulkhead where the heater ducting enters the car. I had water sloshing into the footwell. The side that got wet depended on if I was turning left or right. I am still convinced that clearing the drain tubes will resolve your problem. I will see if I can post a diagram of the heater drains so you can better visualize it.

Update - Got the diagram posted. The two tubes to clear are #11 & #12.

I have the same problem. Checked and cleaned the drain tube. No problem there. I still get water on my feet on the passenger side.

I wish there is a way to take the system apart to clean them.

puma1824

11 & 12 only available from the bottom of the car? Like you, the side that got wet depended on if I was turning left or right. Right now the car is at the dealership getting the wheel locks knocked off as well as hooking up the "hammer" to check warning lights. When I find/buy a jack I will poke around and try and clear the drain tubes.

Also noticed a little water spitting from the center vent. (very little barely noticable)

Oh yeah THANKS for the picture

- so you never fixed the problem??

axl911

Nope. Couldn't figure it out.

Puma, Yes, Tubes #11 and 12 are only accessible from the bottom of the car.
