Using a Smoke Generator to fill the car with smoke and see from where it is coming out of the car - and there is your leak :-) Ebay Link

really need a sunny spell for a few days, see if it dries up or not. Keep heating up when testing to get the water going through the matrix. See what happens. Interested to find out how it goes. Let us know.

Been out this morning to inspect every door seal and boot seal and nothing checked pipes in engine heater pipes all look ok so ive hoovered carpets wet and the dried because its started to smell if that doesn't work then I have no idea due a mot and service in January so I will ask my garage to have a good look underneath

you will really know about it if it is, not just slight misting up when its turned up. you will get it more with heating up. Will smell slightly as well. Its been raining lately, a lot of it, still think its a water leak, to be honest I hope it is because you dont want heater matrix to be leaking. Door seals leak and are hard to find, my mother has leaking boot seal and never did get to the bottom of it.

Been out today when I turn heater down low its steaming up so I dont no door seals look ok and windscreen in ok aswell im thinking its the heater matrix

I think if it was heater matrix then you would get chronic condensation I bet its door seal. Easy fix and shouldnt be too expensive or windscreen seal

I've checked the coolant level which was a bit low so topped that up, checked all pipes and they look all ok, I had a vectra years ago which did the same and that turned out to be the heater matrix I have noticed that the heater was blowing cold air until I topped it up with water and some antifreeze which has made the heater blow hot air now but still got a wet floor 😡

Hi, I keep meaning to say thank you for your advise. We're a bit skint at the moment and the steering isn't playing up (touch wood), so we're saving up and hopefully get it in a garage ASAP. Thanks Ang :-)

Ahh. Thats that idea out the window. What are the door rubbers like? Maybe heavy rain is getting in that way. When you looked in engine bay for any leaky pipes. Did you check the coolant level? If that is a bit low then maybe a pipe going to heater .

No sunroof

Do you have a sunroof?? If you do, it might be worth checking the drain holes in the front corners of it to see if they are blocked. These drains normally are routed down the A pillar and can cause water to seep in to the footwear.

Need some help i own a 64plate vauxhall insignia cdti vrx line and have noticed a damp smell and when ive looked its coming from the passager foot side and carpet is wet ive looked underneath and on engine bay and can't see any holes or cracks in pipe does anybody no what it could be thanks

Have you checked all wiring to all sensors as a break in a wiring could cause this issue - see if it happens when the engine is running and you 'wiggle' the wires going to sensors and actuators

Hi all, hoping someone can help me out here. I have a 2011 zafira 1.7 cdti, car has been perfect for the last 4 years then out of the blue it started juddering, limp mode and smoke out the exhaust. I scanned it with my snap on solus and had an injector 4 code misfire so I ordered a new one, along with a new bosch fuel filter, changed it along with new seals and coded it. Car now starts but have a code telling me small quantity not learnt, so I go into special functions and start the test..... it won't complete it, car stalls and won't restart, now have a dpf fault, removed dpf internals and map out, car starts again but still won't learn the small injection quantity, its up to temp, doors closed, everything off etc and now the injector 4 misfire and limp mode are back. On searches seems a common fault with the 1.7cdti

I've got a Crossland X and it has started to drink oil, I have always had main dealer service and the wet belt changed last year. I have been quoted over 6k to fix it doing a bit of digging it is my understanding Stellantis extended the warranty on Puretech engines beacuse of this fault

Apologies for the delay, had a busy few weeks, and passed my driving test first time, its not a paddle shift.

How do i get the cigarette lighters out of their sockets? Or do i need to strip centre console panels off. Is there a diagram or instructions available on how to remove them etc.

I think the first move is to see where you have power going up to the lighter sockets. Using a multimeter or test lamp see voltage what you are getting at the sockets and work your way back through the electrical system from there to establish if there is a break in the circuit somewhere

I can see what you are up against as so much conflicting information out there on the type of autoboxes that are available. If it were me I would clean the exterior of the areas I would be working in (e.g. bottom and side of the box. Warm the engine up but not too hot as the fluid could scold when being drained. With a drain tray underneath let the fluid drain into it and try not to lose any as you will have to measure the quantity of old fluid. If there haven't been any leaks then what comes out is what should be in there. Ensure you have plenty of fluid to fill the box and top up over the next few days. If you remove the sump or side cover then fit a new filter and gasket(s) and see how it goes after that. Also examine the fluid for colour and particles (metal, fibre, etc) and if it smells of burnt toast then the fluid has been heated by wear on the clutch plates.

Hi I have 1.8 8v cavalier MK3 with aw 50-40le auto gearbox. I need to do an oil change as it's dirty but need to know how much it takes as some sites say 3 l with out filter and some say 6l. It has to be done via dipstick hole as it a sealed box so only will do a basic change. Does anyone have this box that can advise. A rust free car with 96000 from new and original radio cassette. Thanks I'm

Hi looking for some help regarding cigarette lighter sockets. When i bought the car the 1 beside usb was not working so i used the rear near passenger footwell centre section and that went off aswel now. The fuse is ok i checked its in the engine compartment its a 20amp and i also switched it with another 20amp and both fuses are fine. What could it be? Will i need to replace both cigarette lighters if yes which 1s should i get. Any help will be appreciated thanx.
