Default Anyone know where I can get a good wet vac?

I picked up a '00/Nogaro/6spd yesterday and had to empty about 2 gallons of what I believe is water from the floor well on the passenger side. It is dripping from under the dash. Any ideas?
Love that car!

Default er... Yolanda's on 34th street.... tell them "Skippy" sent ya'.....

Dripping from under the dash? After car wash, rainstorm.... or just...?

And yes, Nogaro's are the best! Got 5K on mine - 0 troubles.

Default Condenser drain hose is plugged...

There's a hose that drains the water from the A/C condenser out into the engine compartment. If the hose becomes plugged, the water will well up inside the firewall and will drain into the passenger footwell.

It's a relatively simple thing to fix, though I'm not sure how easy the hose itself is to get to on the S4.

You've got two years left on the warranty - use it! ;-)

Default Common VW/Audi problem, I used to keep a "catheter" in my glove box that I would feed up the line

from under the car!

I do expect less trouble now, with the filtered air input, used to be caused by leaves and trash being sucked in the fresh air intake.

Default That is a leak in/around the ECU box, get that fixed ASAP!

Or you will have major electrical problems.
