Leaks

[Archie2383]

Hi
I've got a c class merc 220 cdi 53 plate and I'm getting water leaking into the drivers side foot well. I believe this is due to leaves blocking the drainage channels in the engine compartment. Any advice would be most welcome

Hello and welcome,

Open the bonnet and clear out all leaves and detritus from the scuttle drains

Hi I've done that even getting the jet hose down and spraying it down the holes

I was wondering if there was some sort of cover with like a wire mesh to filter the debris out???

Your next step could be Strimmer Line down the drains tubes. Give it a good poke around to loosen the debris in them
