I've owned about 10 306's now and have had this problem in the past. If you've sorted the leak out up high then it will be door seals at best guess. When it rains hard you'll notice the seal fills with water which comes out of the holes in the seal when you squeeze it.
Once they are full the water runs over the top of the seal in the bottom corner nearest the footwell and runs down into the footwell.

I've cured it before by removing the door seal and either swapping the whole seal left to right sides, or rotating the seal 180 degrees round so the bottom is at the top and top at the bottom.

Also the door sill where the seal actually presses onto in the front bottom corner I give a bash outwards with a hammer or bend out with pliers towards the door so the seal is much tighter. Should stop your footwells being goldfish ponds.

And if you think you've dried it out there will still be at least an inch of water below the carpet and saturated in the carpet. Will take ages to clear unless you remove the carpet and hang it up.


Have had to cure many a water leak working for main dealers over the years.

If you want to make sure the door seal is touching the door nicely all the way round then smother it in grease and shut the door. It will leave a nice outline of grease on the door where it's been sealing well and less / no grease where it hasnt.

Are you sure the issue now isn't a leaking heater matrix Ross?

That's a lot of rain water!

Try the door seal, after that how about sitting in the car and having someone spray a hose all over it and see if you can see the water coming in anywhere?

My Rallye is totally stripped and the only place it gets water is condensation on the roof. I'll take the door cards off and have a gander at that Niall. just getting wound up by the Poxy thing at the moment.

could you ask him how much for enough material to do both whole doors Niall, or possibly a place to buy it from.Thanks just want to get it sorted, thought spending 5k on a car it wouldn't have too many issues just winds me up I've never had a problem with any other gti6 I've owned.

Crazy idea but maybe sit in it when its raining heavily and see where it originates from?

''Oh, it does handle like a golf!'' Why drive a Golf....when you can drive a GTi-6?

Can you see water dripping down from below the door card and down plastic trim that holds the edge of the carpet down?

I doubt a leak here would effect the fusebox unless it's been like it so long everything's rusting.

I'm still saying it has to be door seals.

Especially since the leak has improved since you fiddled with/removed-refitted them.
It may be a case of biting the bullet and buying new ones although I gather they are rather expensive.

I wasn't talking about you Ollie. you never had it in bad weather. But it winds me up not you're fault but I think a reshell maybe the only way forward.
