but not found a clear answer to where the water may be coming from. I have attached pictures that show where I found visible water. Please let me know if you know where to stop this leak.

It really sucks to find standing water in your new car. I bought this 2001 a6 sedan about 6 months ago. As you can tell from one of the pictures it appears it may have leaked in the past.

Again, thanks for you help.

battery drain hoe, make sure they are not obstructed;

A/C condensor drain, sometimes gets clogged by debris;

windsheild replacement, improper seal.

I'm sure there are others, but these seem to be the more common ones.

Thanks Robert for enlarging the pics, I was just reading about removing the .t.

Boston Driver the battery drain seems easy enough to find but what about the ac condesor drain, do you have any pics?

And, thanks.

I had water coming in around my foot well. I found that some clips where missing from the lower trim cover at the bottom of the windshield. Check this photo. The arrows indicate where three clips are that hold that down. In my case two were missing and the water was going down through the polen filter (under the arrow on the left).

I hope you don't have a Tip transmission as the ECU is exactly where that water is going. If that burns out it's over $1200 to replace IIRC.

When you went with AWE's fueling kit, with what did you replace your accordian hose.

The reason I ask is because on my accordian hose, there's a fitting / connection on the lower / back side (sorta between the middle of the accordian hose and the firewall). For this reason, if I went with an RS4 accordian hose, I'd have to modify it to accept the conncetion.

Short versoin - does / did anything connect to the back / underside of your accordian hose, and if so, did you have to modify the AWE part, or did it already have the appropriate fittings?

Sorry no pics...

Another hyjack...Where in that pic. is the battery drain hole? I've never been able to find it.

It has a fitting about half way for a PVC connection. Take a look at the <a href="http://www.awe-tuning.com/media/pdf/RSK04_27T_fueling.pdf">AWE Fueling Kit Installation Guide</a> to see what I'm talking about. Step 7.

Drain hole is actually below the battery thus the name...you have to remove the battery to see it!!

D'oh....that makes too much sense.
