Cabin Filter Water Leaking

[malinduta]

Hello!

My aygo is leaking on the cabin filter when the car is washed on car wash.

No leaking when raining.

Is there anything I can do to stop the leaking?

Check the drain areas on the scuttle panel below/under/around the windscreen and the engine compartment.

The drain areas seem to be ok, but there is a big hole under the scuttle panel with no cover on it.

I guess the pressure water goes in there when car wash.

i would get a piece of plastic i.e. carrier bag and cover the hole then pressure wash just to see if the leak is from there

if it is then get some aluminium mesh (for body repair of similiar) and cover the hole with this,

air can still be drawn through but the water will bounce off it with the holes being small

[malinduta]

No more leaking!

Thank you, eygo!

After I read this post, I looked inside our Aygo's scuttle panel and I can see a black plate behind it (i.e. between the scuttle panel and the hole seen in the above post). Som how come malinduta's aygo does not have the plate?

The previous owner may have removed it.
