Condensation coming up from floor in ute??

Recommended Posts

Gday, gday,

Ive noticed after a decent drive (more than ten minutes) theres water coming through the carpet on both sides! Ive had a good look underneath and cant feel any moisture at all...what would be running under neath and coming through as the car heats up? And this is regardless of rain.

Thanks!

has a leak somewhere..
most common places:

door seals,

plenum rust,

windscreen leak..
 

its not going to have condensation from a dry floor.. it must be wet under the carpet in my opinion

Something must be leaking but its completely dry until a decent drive so i guess its heating up and steaming through?
Shes got no rust and it definitely happens after a week of no rain...

The carpet itself might be dry, your problem will most likely be wet/damp carpet underfelt from (as dean and valvebouncer said) either leaky plenum or heater core. Usually heater core leak will be passenger side and plenum leak will be drivers side.
Pull your carpet back and have a look.

Underfelt is dry too...Ill check the hose connections at the firewall.

Can you point me in the direction of the heater core? And where are the floor drain plugs?

I also reckon heater core. Get a pressure tester on your cooling system & check for leaks. Also if it's leaking as much as you say, you will notice your coolant level dropping in the radiator. Heater core is behind the dash in the heater box. You can bypass it, but it will be a long cold winter.

Stick your fingers in where the the air comes out to blow on your feet. Get the engine hot first, if it's wet your heater core is f&@ked.

Hot chick: Oh no mister mechanic, it's so wet & I need you check it out with your tools. I have no money to pay you.

Mechanic: I've got just the tool for it & we can work out the bill somehow.
