Look at the rubber seal on the windshield

In the lower corner of the windshield

Are you sure the water is not antifreeze?

under which ones exactly

Replace with a new windshield seal. I had the same problem. The rubber is drying.

Carpet, felt, you lift up rubber plugs in the floor and it runs through them, you take it, change it and coat it with sealant, and everything is luxury :)

Through the windshield it’s the same for me...

Denis, if there is antifreeze then the pump has failed.

I also have a welded casing on the heater motor under the hood, I had the whole one broken, also all the water flowed into the interior when it rained, but I installed a new one and tightened it well, no more problems) the previous owner smeared all the rubber with glue and it didn’t help him at all))))

Look at the place where the fuse block is located. There is a metal connection on the side of the wing and coat it with automotive plasticine. It dried out or fell out. I had this myself. I suffered for a month; the carpet was all rotted, okay, at least the metal was fine. I covered it with sealant. Now it’s as dry as ever. desert. Look, it’s pouring a hundred pounds from there. It’s advisable for two people to do this, one from the bottle pours some water and the second watches. Pull the carpet out more

There's a hood cable running right next to it.

I used a small round file to make more drainage and everything stopped leaking.

Drainage on seal

I always had damp under the carpet on the passenger side. I got through everything, including the fuse box, the windshield, and near the right glass where the corrugation with wires enters the cabin. in the end it turned out that water flowed through the central drainage hole (which is near the heater motor casing) onto the metal protective plate of the steering rack, and from this plate the water flowed directly onto the heater hoses that enter the cabin. One hose did not have a seal, and it turned out that the hole in the body was larger than the diameter of the hose. That's where the hose began to leak. I advise you to pull out the carpet, Shumka and all the other rags that are lying there from the interior, pour water from a hose or a bucket onto the front of the car, and if the leak is good, you will immediately see where the drops are coming from on the metal. I found it like this

There are plugs in the floor. Was. Well, once again, it’s true that during a heavy downpour, a drop of water dripped onto my face from the hole through which the wires from the motor go into the cabin.

The rainy season always brings some new surprises to car owners. Either “triple”, or poor starting, and for some it’s even more original, such as water under the rug. What a surprise for the driver when, upon opening the car doors, he discovers a puddle of water either on the driver’s side or on the passenger’s side. The question immediately arises: where did the water come from?

It would be nice if there was some kind of rusty trough, then there would be at least some considerations, but it looks like it’s not old, but there’s a flood. Just to solve such issues, I will cite the main weak points and holes through which water leaks, by how to visually determine the influx of water it will not be possible at all... The problem seems to be general and applies not only to domestically produced cars, but also to foreign cars. The rug also often catches me.

Where does water come from?

Water can be poured through the stove air intake (depending on the model, it appears both on the left and on the right side of the tunnel at the feet). In such a situation, you need to clean the drain holes in the engine compartment, and then coat the joint of the body and the air duct with sealant . If the liquid is from the side of the stove, then first of all it is worth checking whether it is antifreeze (the faucet often leaks simply through clamps and pipes or the heater radiator). The heater can also leak through the engine.

This is where water can flow into the Hyundai Accent

It is possible that water may leak through the gasket in the mounting block and fuse box. Also, in domestic cars, liquid leakage through the windshield frame can occur ( water leaks in the corners ). This situation can arise for several reasons:

  1. First, the drain holes may be clogged (they need cleaning).
  2. Secondly, the seal may not adhere tightly to the glass (due to drying out or cracking).
  3. Thirdly, perhaps the formation of a gap between the glass and the body.

It is not uncommon for water to seep through rubber door seals (torn, shriveled rubber) that need to be replaced. How simple would it be? But a lot also depends on the installation of the seal; it happens that it was simply installed incorrectly, here you need to be extremely careful. Or because the doors have sagged or are not adjusted correctly. This results in water pouring in through the doorways. In rare cases, water gets into the steering rack or cables from the driver's side.

The entire list of leak locations in Samara. I found information on the D2 forum from Andronchik67. Respect and respect to him)) A post for those who are faced with this problem and are looking for a solution to the problem. In Samara, liquid can enter the cabin in the following ways. Before reading further, check to see if the reason for the appearance of water in the cabin is simple condensation. All of the following assumes that there is enough water in the cabin for small-scale fish farming. Water in the front part (up to the feet of the rear passengers) Front window seal (usually water enters from the lower corners of the glass): • if the glass seal has become hard; • the glass seal has ruptures; • drainage holes in the glass seal and windshield frame are clogged - 2 pcs. at a distance of about 5-7 cm from the lower corners of the seal; • the side of the windshield frame in the area of ​​the drainage holes has rotted; • the frame under the glass seal has rotted; • the glass has incorrect geometric dimensions; • just such a seal. I had to deal with the last reason after replacing the windshield seal. For a couple of months after replacing the seal, there was no water in the cabin. With the beginning of autumn, after each rain we had to remove the plugs from the floor and drain the water. The location of the leak could not be found. I drove it with ice in the cabin all winter. And only in the spring, after removing the torpedo and dancing with a tambourine for two hours, I found the location of the leak - at a distance of 6 cm from the lower corner of the glass. I had to change the seal again. Everything is fine now. At the service station they said that 9 out of 10 Samaras leak in this place. Nobody knows the reason. Heater, motor shield: • the joint “stove body - motor shield” is not coated with non-hardening sealant; • two self-tapping screws of the water-reflective casing of the stove are not seated on the sealant; • “floods” the stove when the drainage holes in the swamp are clogged; • the fan casing seal is missing, torn, “stubby” or has incorrect dimensions; • rubber plugs in the motor shield (coat the wires passing through the motor shield with non-hardening sealant); • rotted or torn out studs in the engine shield; • necessarily d.b. a rubber valve is installed in the drainage hole to the left of the ball, otherwise water gets onto the speedometer cable plug and further into the cabin. Holes in the floor: • there are no rubber plugs in the bottom; • torn covers of the gearshift lever and handbrake cable; • rotten or torn out studs for securing the converter casing; • hidden “threshold-hump” holes - when driving through deep puddles; • holes in the upper part of the sill and under the trim of the rear seat sidewalls on the VAZ-2108 when driving through deep puddles. Antifreeze: • heater tap — throw it out and replace it with two pipes (I did this and don’t regret it); • heater radiator; • clamps and pipes in the passenger compartment (install NORMA clamps and tighten “hot” with a 7 wrench). Water from the rear window washer pipe. The rear window washer tube (for hatchbacks) runs in the upper right corner of the dashboard, through the engine shield and inside the right pillar up to the ceiling, inside the right roof side member. To get to it you need to (under the dashboard) either “bend” the right side of the dashboard or lie on your back at the front passenger’s feet and bend the sound insulation. It is advisable to remove the roof lining. If it is left in a “hanging” position, it can break in the middle: the line connecting the middle fastenings of the handrails is the most flimsy place. Doors: • tightness of the door, integrity and elasticity of the seal; • wires for antennas, taxi lights, etc. passing through the door seal; • drainage holes in the door; • presence of “aprons” inside the door; • integrity and softness of velvet glass; • fastenings of side rear-view mirrors; • close windows and doors in rain and snow. Body corrosion: • windshield frame; • thresholds; • internal arches of the front wheels; • if there are no front lockers, there are no wire plugs to the signal repeaters; • floor, etc. Lack of rubber mats on the floor and holes in the standard carpet - it runs off your feet. CHY - remove and place its seal on the sealant. Rubber seal for hood cable. If the back of the car is lifted, then look at the condition of all kinds of plugs, holes, parts, etc., etc. in the rear of the car. Sunroof, antenna, flashing light in the roof... Water in the rear (from the rear passengers' feet to the rear lights) Body corrosion can lead to water in the cabin! • the presence of containers with liquids in the trunk - check the lids! • rear light seal - place on sealant (adhesive-sealant). I used BODY 920. I recently saw a seal from Audi. It is a black soft sausage about half a meter long. Non-budget price - 190 rubles. Most likely a non-curing sealant. If the gap is large, then IMHO you can use a non-hardening sealant like BODY 999. On older machines, remove the seal, clean it and turn it over to the other side; • holes for license plate; • hole for securing the separator and a small hole under it (most likely for the trim in luxury models; • rubber in the floor of the spare tire; • rubber window seals (especially pay attention to the rear window - lower corners); • clogged drains in the rear door ( for hatchbacks) - periodically clean and additionally drill 4-5 holes with a diameter of 4-4.5 mm; • rubber door seal - replace with a new one and/or adjust the door for a tight fit. It is good to use a piece of thick paper 3-4 cm wide and long 20-25 cm. Place the sheet on the seal, close the door and pull out the sheet. • rubber plugs inside the wings - 2 pcs. Sometimes they fly out, sometimes they don’t. If the lockers at the back do not have “shelves,” then dirt and water get inside the wings through the holes. • through the self-tapping screws of the lockers, when they are screwed through “through the rear arches into the passenger compartment”; • holes in the floor from the “luxury” trim; • 6 or 8 holes in the trunk along the rear side members - only rubber plugs or sealing with something will help; • hatch to the gas tank sensor - secure the hatch correctly, new rubber, sealant...; • 8 holes (4 on each side) in the feet of the rear passengers. From the factory: the bottom is filled with plastisol, the top is filled with bitumen sheet. Relevant for older cars. Install plugs.

Antifreeze vapors are harmful to health!

Smudges are visible on the upholstery, but traces of antifreeze are more clearly visible on the mat itself

Of course, soaking the interior carpet of a VAZ-2114 with antifreeze entails consequences. The most unpleasant consequence is the smell of coolant when driving.

So, if left in this environment for a long time, settled coolant vapors will cause asthma, chronic bronchitis, allergies, and in the worst case, lung cancer . Therefore, at the slightest appearance of antifreeze on the interior carpet, it is necessary to eliminate the cause.

When water gets under the passenger mat of a VAZ

If moisture appears in the car interior, then the driver has no peace of mind until he figures out what’s wrong and fixes the leak. Most often, such a nuisance happens after rain. The most common cause is a windshield that is not sealed properly, which allows raindrops to enter the cabin.

It happens that you have to disassemble the door in order to make sure that the plastic screens, whose function is to close the technological windows, are in order. You can check the windshield by having someone spray it while watching from below what is happening.

The following can happen if the channels are clogged: the water flow will split, one part will go to the driver's side, the other to the passenger's seat. Then, under the hood, the water will go into the drain hole, and through the body it will begin to flow to the stove pipes.

But in VAZ 2114, 2107, water can accumulate on the floor if the rubber seals, which are located on the inside along the perimeter of the door, are worn out. Worn seals, which now do not fit tightly, can be identified immediately - the rubber becomes torn and shrunken.

So it's time to replace them. In this case, professionals advise installing double seals, so before disassembling half the machine in search of the cause, you need to check if there are any cracks that allow moisture to pass through. During assembly, they can also make a mistake and install them incorrectly, therefore, even if the car is completely new and water appears in the cabin, the seals should be checked first. The main thing is that the glass and the body are one.

conclusions

The reasons and methods for eliminating the effect of antifreeze leaks on the interior mats in the VAZ-2114 are considered. So, when a motorist discovers such a problem, he must eliminate it immediately, because the consequences can be very diverse. If the car owner is unable to solve the problem, it is recommended to contact a car service center.

I had no idea that antifreeze was so harmful to health. Personally, I think that the antifreeze in these VAZs is the biggest problem and the main drawback. It generally flows for different reasons and from different places. This cooling system with antifreeze was a very bad idea. Use spring clamps - I installed these myself and am very pleased.

In fact, the most unpleasant consequences are engine overheating. And not the smell in the cabin. In any case, it is better to treat the malfunction at a car service center. In winter, this is extremely inconvenient to do if you don’t have a garage.

You cannot mix different antifreezes. You only need to add the same liquid. Although, fill in normal antifreeze and there will be no problems. I have coolstream premium and everything has been great for many years now. Opel has approval. Imported additives are also present

Why does water get under the passenger's carpet?

Water may appear under the rug if the heater leaks, and then moisture will pass through the engine into the cabin.

The air intake of the stove can also bring a lot of trouble, since in order to eliminate constant puddles under your feet, you will have to clean the technical drain holes, which are located in the niche under the hood. Then it will be necessary to carry out additional repair work - seal the joints of the air duct and the body with high-quality sealant. It’s better not to waste money on it so that it lasts a long time.

When moisture constantly appears in the direction where the stove is located, it is advisable to figure out whether it is ordinary water or antifreeze. In this case, a damaged faucet is often to blame, and this can be determined by the steam that appears in the cabin; the antifreeze level sensor will also indicate a breakdown - it will definitely light up. Here are other reasons why puddles may form:

  • Dampness may occur in the cabin if there is leakage in the area of ​​the mounting block and fuses through the gasket;
  • the resulting puddle under the driver’s feet may appear, flowing down the steering rack and along the cables;
  • if the fault still cannot be found, you need to check the injectors, don’t be too lazy to ring them - is everything in order here, is there a wire break.

Air conditioning is good to have in the cabin, but it can affect the accumulation of water under the passenger mat. The air conditioner has such a device - a condensate drain pipe, and sometimes it can simply fall out of its place, and then water will begin to get behind the seat trim. The consequences are not noticeable - constant dampness, you have to remove the seat, change the upholstery and seal.

A crack may appear in the fuse box, causing water to appear under the mats. You need to check the pedal from which the cable runs to the motor.

In any case, the leak must be eliminated, otherwise corrosion of the body will begin, which will be difficult to stop.

Water under the passenger mat of a VAZ 2114 can appear for various reasons. Every owner takes care of his own car, and as soon as even a small malfunction occurs, he immediately begins to sound the alarm, trying to quickly “cure” the car. It would seem that water under the passenger mat of a VAZ 2114 does not cause much concern, but this must be eliminated immediately so that there are no more serious problems in the future.

What to do if there is little moisture

Of course, it is better to prevent the appearance of moisture in the car interior than to deal with it later. Motorists who pay attention to car care in order to avoid unpleasant consequences are no less concerned about maintaining dryness than replacing consumables.

It is also important to regularly monitor the integrity of the insulating materials, because the seals wear out over time and can let water in from the outside. In case of wear, it is better to replace the insulation immediately.

In summer, you can easily provide conditions for quickly removing moisture; to do this, simply open the windows or doors so that warm air flows circulate well. If the car is equipped with a climate control system, then in any bad weather you can organize a suitable microclimate in the cabin. The “Window Defrosting” option will help get rid of excess humidity. Of course, you should not only brush snow off your clothes and shoes when getting into the car, but also use the right mats so that moisture doesn’t have a chance in the first place. In winter, you should not use textile car mats; rubber ones are better for this period, since they are easy to remove water from. By leaving your car in a heated garage with good ventilation, you don’t have to worry about the accumulation of moisture in the cabin. Drying will not be difficult even in winter if the room is well ventilated, since the water evaporating from the heat will not settle as condensation. So, if you leave the windows or car doors open in such a garage, the problem will be solved spontaneously.

It is not always possible to provide ideal conditions for car maintenance, and this is where many car owners are faced with the accumulation of moisture in the interior, subsequently wondering how to dry the car interior under the mats. A little moisture is not as big a problem as serious wetting of the upholstery and flooring, which requires special efforts to eliminate. First of all, you should get rid of the main water by blotting the accumulation areas with any of the moisture-absorbing materials, for which dry rags, newspapers, disposable towels, diapers and other similar things that are not difficult to find are suitable. Car mats should be removed, washed and dried thoroughly. Those who have already dried rugs in winter know firsthand that the process takes much more time than in the warm season, so it is necessary to provide appropriate conditions for drying; in the cold it will not be possible to complete the task properly. Next, the carpet is raised, and most of the moisture is removed from it and the bottom using absorbent agents to facilitate subsequent, more thorough drying. Rugs or carpeting that have contained antifreeze or other chemicals require careful removal of the composition from the surface.

The main thing is that the glass and the body are one.

Why does the interior floor become wet?

The most exposed place in the cabin to moisture is the car mat; it is the one that takes the blow most often during the rainy season or in winter. If the driver left the car with the windows slightly open and during his absence there was heavy rainfall, a few minutes is enough for water to get inside, soaking the upholstery and floor. If you give a ride to a wet passenger, the effect is the same; snow or mud can easily get on your shoes. However, it is not always so obvious where the water comes from under the carpet in the car. Humidity can also be caused by the following reasons:

  • Violation of the integrity of the rug;
  • Depressurization of the interior, for example, due to wear of seals or poor-quality assembly after body repair;
  • Formation of condensation caused by temperature differences and poor air circulation in the cabin;
  • Malfunctions of the air conditioner or heating system;
  • Unsuitable car mats that do not fit tightly to the floor;
  • Using textile mats not intended for use in such conditions in winter or rainy weather;
  • Poorly performed interior dry cleaning and car washing;
  • Moisture under the mat could be due to spilled liquid, leakage of antifreeze, etc.;
  • The presence of water under the passenger seat is inevitable if you get into the car with wet clothes;
  • Submerging a car in water.

No matter where the water in the car comes from, and no matter the scale of the situation, it is better to start drying immediately, without waiting for the dampness to completely take over the area. In some cases, the problem can be solved in a few minutes using improvised means, while in others you will have to tinker a lot, using “heavy artillery” for drying or even resort to the help of specialists.

Actions to take when the floor is very wet

In case of more global flooding of the interior, for example, when the car has scooped up water from a deep puddle or dived into a body of water, the problem cannot be solved by the methods discussed. If you can drain the main water yourself, then for complete drying it is better to use the services of professionals, since in this case you cannot hesitate. The longer the interior is in contact with water, the higher the likelihood of moisture penetrating into the noise and heat insulation layers of the upholstery. In addition to worries about removing water from the floor, in this case you will have to disassemble the upholstery for subsequent drying. This will require a lot of time and space where the materials will need to be dried, but if everything is done correctly and quickly, then the appearance of mold, the unpleasant smell of dampness and other related problems can be avoided.

The water in the car under the carpet can be easily pumped out with a vacuum cleaner at the car wash, after which you can directly dry the interior. It’s up to you to dry the interior yourself or resort to the help of specialists, but you cannot expect that the moisture will go away on its own, nor can you delay the event. Where dry cleaning services are available, there is also special equipment that allows you to thoroughly dry your car. This option will lead to the desired result faster and will also save you from unnecessary hassle, while the main thing in achieving the effect is high-quality performance of the work.

During assembly, they can also make a mistake and install them incorrectly, therefore, even if the car is completely new and water appears in the cabin, the seals should be checked first. The main thing is that the glass and the body are one.

Clogged drainage holes in the bottom may leak water. In this case, it is enough to clean them. Previously, they were made of rubber, but now they are using plastic, which allows water to pass through.

The cause of moisture may also be in the door if it is warped.

It happens that it is poorly adjusted, then, especially during a trip in rainy weather, it is very easy to get water into the cabin through the resulting gaps.

Trunk

The VAZ plant did not provide drainage holes here. The rear wing shelf has a sloping shape. Water flows down the gutters along the fender and sealing rubber to the rear lights.

To ensure that water does not accumulate in the upper part of the trunk, but flows freely, you need to clean the area between the trunk lid seal and the body. Usually leaves and debris from trees are collected here.

Inside the trunk itself, on the bottom there are drainage points. We lift the floor protection and see several holes. One small and several large ones. The smaller ones are designed to remove moisture from the very bottom, the others, they are located higher, to drain water if the trunk is full.

General cooling system maintenance tips

First of all, you need to adhere to the following safety tips:

If you have replaced the heater core, you need to check the operation of the fan. To do this, monitor the coolant temperature on the dashboard. If the arrow reaches the red zone and the fan still does not turn on, you need to turn on the airflow from the heater. Cold air indicates an air lock, and hot air indicates a fan malfunction.

You can remove the plug from the air when the power unit is turned off and cooled; to do this, you just need to unscrew the cap of the expansion tank.

Replacement features

If there are small leaks in the engine cooling system and the car owner periodically adds water or antifreeze from different manufacturers, the old coolant may take on a rusty color. Foreign bodies may appear in the form of small chips and rust, which, by the way, can lead to failure of the main elements of the cooling system, water pump, thermostat, heater tap, etc.

Flushing the VAZ 2110 cooling system

In this regard, when replacing old antifreeze in this condition, it is necessary to flush the system. This can be done using different additives, which is not always beneficial for the cooling system. Low-quality cleaning additives may not only not help, but also damage the components of the cooling system. Therefore, it is necessary to use high-quality additives and not skimp.

You can also flush the system naturally with distilled water. After draining the old antifreeze, water is added. The car idles for 10-15 minutes, then it is drained again and new antifreeze is added. If there is severe rust, you can repeat the procedure.

There is a cheaper and easier way; you can simply flush the system with plain water by opening the radiator and engine caps in sequence. Those. the engine cap is unscrewed and water is spilled through the expansion tank. Then the engine plug is closed and the radiator drain plug is opened. Do only in this sequence, since the radiator is at the lowest point and all the water will pour out.

How to remove an air lock from the cooling system of a VAZ 2110, 2112

1.If the car has recently been running, then you need to wait until it cools down. 2.Unscrew the cap of the expansion tank, only with the engine cooled down, otherwise antifreeze under pressure may splash out. 3. Disconnect the coolant supply hose from the throttle pipe heating fitting if you have an injector

Or disconnect the hose from the carburetor heating fitting if you have carburetor 4. Fill the antifreeze into the expansion tank to level 5. Attach the hose back.

Replacing antifreeze VAZ 2110, 2112: step-by-step instructions

How to independently replace antifreeze on a VAZ 2110.2112 First, let's find out: why do we need to replace the coolant on a VAZ 2110 if we constantly monitor its level and regularly top it up to the mark on the expansion tank. But it's not that simple. It is important to know that antifreeze, after prolonged use in the cooling system, changes Read more.

Cleaning the windshield washer nozzles

Windshield washer nozzles also do not often attract the attention of car owners. As a result, many car enthusiasts often ignore these sprayers, which play an important role in car safety. You must remember that windshield washer nozzles are necessary to properly clean your windshield while your vehicle is moving. Yes, windshield wiper blades are also very important. But how the windshield washer nozzles work will determine how the blades clean the glass.

Did you know that those washer fluid nozzles can get clogged? In this case, the quality of windshield cleaning drops significantly. For example, if the nozzle is partially clogged, the windshield will not be washed sufficiently with the windshield washer.

As a result, the wiper blades will not be wet enough, which will lead to poor cleaning of the glass surface. This not only shortens the life of your blades and windshield, but also directly affects your safety while driving. After all, the worse the visibility of the road, the greater the risk of getting into an accident. Also, a dirty windshield puts a lot of strain on the driver’s eyes, which can affect his health.

How to clean?

Car owners should regularly clean windshield washer nozzles to remove dirt. If a blockage occurs, you can use a thin sewing needle to clear the clogged sprayer. However, be careful not to damage the nozzle nozzle. In addition, avoid contact with pressurized water on the nozzle while washing. The fact is that the force of spraying water from a gun in a car wash can lead to a change in the angle of spraying water on the glass adjusted at the factory. In this case, you will have to manually adjust the spray angle to the original position, which is not very easy.

Procedure for replacing fluid in the cooling system

Before adding any coolant, close the engine and radiator caps, and then fill the system with antifreeze.
It will be required so much that the liquid level in the expansion tank reaches the point where the belt fastening passes. Upon completion of work, tightly screw the cap of the expansion tank and return the hose leading to the heating system. Please note that high pressure occurs in this assembly. If you do not tighten the plug tightly enough, it may break off during operation. This will inevitably lead to antifreeze leakage.

Before starting the engine, perform reverse assembly - install the ignition module and return the negative terminal to the battery. After the work described in this section, you can start the engine to warm up. You shouldn’t start driving right away - let the engine run for a while, and then check the fluid level in the expansion tank. If there were air pockets in the system, the amount of antifreeze will decrease. The top edge of the fluid will not reach the location of the belt on the reservoir. In this case, let the car sit for a while and then add antifreeze.

Sometimes, by warming up the power plant, the air plugs are not pressed through. In this case, it is necessary to repeat the procedure with the hose (described in the previous section), at the same time open the cap of the expansion tank. After excess air has escaped, it is necessary to add antifreeze to the required level.
