Problem overview

Some Porsche Cayenne owners report experiencing issues with a wet driver's side floor, which may lead to intermittent starting problems. These concerns can stem from various sources of water leaks, including faulty door or window seals, clogged wiper or sunroof drains, or issues with the air conditioning system. Additionally, some owners find that water accumulation can occur between the firewall and engine compartment under the wiper blade cowling. To resolve this issue, it is crucial for owners to identify the root cause of the leak by checking for leaks around the cabin filter, inspecting the driver's door diaphragm for splits, and examining the weather stripping and drainage tubes for clogs. Regular maintenance, such as cleaning the interior and using a dash pad mat, is recommended to prevent future occurrences of wet floors. Addressing these water leak issues is essential to avoid further complications, such as starting difficulties.
