Is my Renault Scenic letting in water because the heater matrix has failed?
I've got a couple of problems with water coming into my Renault Scenic and sitting in the driver's footwell, and in the storage holes in the back. Is there anything I can check to stop this happening? A friend told me about the problem the Scenic has with the water heating matrix - does this affect all Scenics and what do I have to look out for?

Maybe the heater matrix has failed. Maybe it's simply rainwater coming in through the vent because the drains to the bulkhead vent well are blocked.

Far better than the previous model. The Grand model seats seven. Practical and versatile. Excellent crash test rating.
