You're right Ainars, didn't read it correctly, but if softened and lubricated (!) it goes in fine.

It doesn't need tape, it fits very snugly; the important thing is to get the smaller grommet fitted properly onto the metal of the transmission tunnel, it goes in further than you might think at...

Getting them out is usually easy, putting back trickier.
Soak them in hot water with plenty of washing-up liquid to make them soft and slippery!

That link is for Jim's solution to the side fixing, which will indirectly lead you to what you need.

It's like a double-layer plug with a bent tube through it.
Once disconnected from the black plastic drain pipe you just work around the edge to pull it out carefully.
There's an inner section that...

And be VERY VERY CAREFUL not to overfill so that it overflows into the cabin! :eek:

Don't stick anything down the tube, take it out and clean it properly (easy enough); trim the cross-end slightly too to improve flow.

Drivers side is: small trim below steering column off, knee...

I did the same on the seals. +++
But I now pay most attention to the big scuttle drain, testing and flushing regularly with hot water and detergent. No problems in ages (fingers crossed).

I've read something online (in Audipages maybe) about sucking water out through a thin pipe fed into the rear vents, but I didn't do that.

Basically I just sorted out the various drain blockages...

Same here; blocked main scuttle drains, overflow (carrying crap) into aircon drains, block those, eventually filling up all the pipes and underfloor areas inside the car. :mad:

Not necessarily, it may not be in such an unhelpful place as not everything is mirrored, far from it. The ECU box for example is very different between LHD and RHD in the D2, nothing like a mirror...

Out of interest, where exactly (if anyone knows) is the other side of the hole and is it accessible, e.g. with the glovebox out (which is relatively easy)?

Brilliant photos, bookmarked for dealing with on a warmer/drier (and less windy!) day. +++

It's quite probably an artefact of the production process and covering it up so pathetically obviously...

I'm sure there's a very detailed thread somewhere, maybe on AudiPages?

I know I've read it when investigating my PF leaks a few years back, but could have been archived. :(

I'm pretty sure that the first picture is the one that I've seen referred to as Botangs Hole, below outboard edge of the ECU box I think on RHD.

Did you have to pull the ECU box forwards to find...

Is your car LHD or RHD...
