leaky beetle in the boot and front portion of the cabin

Haridev 8 April 2005 18:30:18
 hi guys,
im new here so please do bare with me. i have a 1971 beetle 1200 in
malaysia. so here goes. my beetle is leaking quite badly at the wall
between the front
boot section and the interior cabin (under the dashboard. there is
water
comin in whenever there is a downpour. i realised that it is caused by

the plastic container under the front bonnet vents (right in front of
the
windsheild) wish has water overflowing onto the the boot, through the

water realised near the fuel tank, and into the cabin. i do know that

there are sum rusty spots on the wall but according to the welder it
cant
be welded easily so he sanded it and applied underseal to it. i do
know
this sounds complicated. right now i want to find out if the container

under the bonnet vents overflow under a lots of water. i tried it
using
my garden tap. please do help me out. im quite lost. i prefer to solve
it
at the root then do unessasy welding. besides, i have changed the
floor
pans once and i have no intention to go through it again. take care,
dev

That container under the vents (the fresh air box ?) should have a pipe
coming from the bottom of it which lets any water going into it go down
through a hole just behind the fuel tank (at least, thats what mine does)
and out onto the floor outside. If the fresh air box fills up with water
and overflows then the bottom of it might be blocked

 Of course it's important to make sure that nothing is blocking the drain
from the fresh air intake box forward of the windshield, and that there
is a good seal all around the top of the box.

On my '74 Beetle there is a bad seal between the body and the frame
which allowed water draining from the bottom of the fresh air box to
enter the cabin. After a Vancouver rainstorm the floors would be awash.
The solution was simple- extend the fresh air box drain all the way
down to the floorpan using a length of garden house. Without this the
floors will rust through quite quickly.
