Well I removed all of the carpet at the front left and found WATER!!

and it's has anti freeze in it and I think my over flow pipe is leaking!!! Anyone know how to remove this pipe?

I can't pull it because it's attached to the engine bay wall!

Hi There -

Firstly, have you checked the heater or heater pipes? As I recall, they go into the bulkhead on this side, and would be the first suspect for a footwell leak with antifreeze....

Thats what happens when you lift the WRONG mats

So are you still running your bypass solution, or have you had your fixed, MArtin?

As I can't find any leak, yet coolant is (slowly) disappearing, and that bad smell is still there with the heat, I'm afraid my car has had to go to Volvo where someone can take more bits out to investigate than I dare

Hope it's not too costly

It would seem like it's related... If it isn't then I don't what would cause it...

I sure am, It's waiting for some place to look at it and sort it out!
Your sure yours in not leaking?

Mine is not leaking anymore...at the back!

this week end i remove the boot "door" and the two pieces on the side window and the rear lights and all the interior

I put half of the silicone tube and now it's ok (2 days...)
