Astra 2.0cdti sri puddle passenger floor

[ricky spanish]

I have an 11 plate Astra 2.0cdti sri. I have been having problems with a puddle appearing on the passenger side floor. There are no other wet areas of the car, and it doesn't happen everytime it rains. I saw a youtube video of an older vectra that had the same issue and it was caused by a drainage cup? under the front screen getting clogged up. I think i might have the same problem as it doesn't happen everytime it rains. I had a look around that general area but as i know next to nothing about cars i have no idea what I'm looking for. Has anyone had the same issue?

Check pollen filter if wet replace pollen filter remove blower motor check if wet this was an old problem with water trailing down the wiper arms inside the scuttle panel the GM fix is to tie a zip tie around the drivers side wiper arm in the scuttle panel about an inch up near the sticker on the wiper arm motor have not heard of this for a good few years now

What tucpal said mate, usually any water in the passenger side of cars is down to the pollen filter getting clogged
