2005 S80 - water inside dash?

Recommended Posts

Recently bought a 2005 S80. Everything was fine when I test drove it, but after it had sat on my driveway for 2 weeks (busy with jobstuff) with a lot of rain - I was really surprised when I finally took a drive and heard water sloshing _inside_ the dashboard. When turning to the left - I can hear the water sloshing over to the right side - and vica versa. 

Tried prying of the variuous rubber drain plugs underneath the car just to make sure it wasn't inside there. There is absolutely no water inside the car. I have taken off the trim in both the driver and passenger footwell, and looked really well inside and up underneath - but cannot see one drop of water. Still - I can hear it sloshing around when driving.

Going completely nuts - where is this water?? I have also taken of the wiper arms and the cowell cover - and the two drain holes seem fine. Cannot for my life understand how water has entered the car, and equally frustrated of not getting it out.
The car does not have a sunroof.

I have read that air in the heater core circuit could cause symptoms like this. Also read that clogged AC-drain could cause water buildup somwhere inside..?


Any advice greatly appreciated!!
