- Water in the footwells of Honda Civics mk8 seem unfortunately common, and can be either on the drivers side or passengers side. If like me you have water in the passenger side only it could be that its not from an outside source but from the cooling system internally around the AC.
Watch through until the end and you can see exactly how I carried out the fault finding and what you can do to resolve it.

What an honest guy. I've spent over a thousand pound with honda and no help what's so ever. Hopefully this helps thanks for your advice and great video
Thanks for the support of you subscribed, let me know how it goes
any luck? i’m having the same issue and i’m not in a position to spend so much with honda if this works
Ur patience on repairs is exemplary 👍
Thanks Robert, I hate not getting to the root cause on issues, its the engineer in me !
i’ve got the same
problem.
especially in the summer.
you can seal the cabin filter lid but that means the water will accumulate there and eventually it will mould the filter and you’ll end up breathing that in….
i’m debating making another drain for the cabin filter enclosure.
Drain would be great idea
The drain hose may be clogged up with dirt resulting to accumulation of condensate water inside the a.c. filter-evaporator enclosure thus creating a sump on lower cavity
very helpful video im having the same problem on my 2012 honda civic
Let me know how you go
I have the same problem. I own left hand side Civic. At least I know where to start looking, thanks.
Mine has stayed dry since the vid
@@GrooveOn good to know, thank You!
Reminds me of chasing the famous Mk 1 Kuga water ingress into the front passenger footwell. Tracked it down to cracked body sealant in the near side rear roof water channel under the roof bars.
Nice work bro
In your Civic, does the boot have any water in the spare tyre/wheel space at all? I think this is a common issue as the car gets older, ours has this issue and is a 2009 mk 8 I think similar to yours. The rear lights have condensation in them and I've seen this on other civics as well so I wonder if this was modified on later models to prevent a wet boot etc.
Unfortunately not mate!
Got an 11 plate and I’ve had the dreaded boot leak, unless your talking about the next generation.
Mine was leaking in two places, the seal had started to perish around the upper rear windscreen and I also had water coming in through the common area, on the roof guttering under the black plastic seals!
I had water in trunk in my Civic 2009. Had to change sealing gaskets on rear lights.
I used rubber seal to seal the small cracks on the roof under the black plastic trim
Found your video helpful. I recently purchased a 2009 civic and I have the absolute most dreadful condensation accumulating inside the car. I suspected it could be a blocked ac drain or a knackered condenser. I haven't had chance to check either yet, but I did replace the cabin filter which was a factory fitted one from 2009 !!! Typical 13 service stamps and never changed. If you have any advice on MY condensation issue before I start hunting it down pls let me know and thanks for your video.
Well all I can say is my car has been none dry since this fix for 1.5 years. You could try turning off AC and see if things dry up?
Be sure to check if you dont have the leak from the top of the boot. I fixed that 2 years ago on mine and here i am with a new water leak. This is the clip i used for fixing the boot lid: th-cam.com/video/OZP2XpQ73mc/w-d-xo.html
Check to see if you boot/trunk is dry under mat, a common leak is from the two seals that run from the roof into the top of the tail gate. If your boot is dry then its fine. Check if the leak is under your carpet at the front, if its on top then it could be the condenser
Hi, im a huge fan of your channel about the civic problems i have an 07 mk8 with the leaking issues, im not technical at all with cars and was wondering if you can come and solve my issue (if your in surrey/south london area)
Have this same problem in my civic si 2019 drivers side, hope this is the problem
Let me know, mines been dry for over a year👌🏼
This doesn't seem like an easy task! My car's passenger footwell is really soggy, but this coincides with rainy weather, so I'm wondering if its more to do with leaves etc blocking the gutter and causing the leak?
@@ivarhakuse8572 could be, try turning off AC for a while to see if it improves
@@GrooveOn Hey thanks! Will give it a go!
My leak is on the drivers side, just looking for solutions when i found this video, will spend the weekend taking a look myself.
good luck, I hope you get to the root cause.... try putting a bit of paper right under the cover to see if there are water drips !
@@MrCrxsi09 I was lucky that my drivers side was okay. I know people have found that under the front trim at the wipers the rain can pass behind the firewall somehow.
Nice one dude, this is very useful , I haven’t got a leak but if I do I know where to start 👍👍
thanks for the kind words !
Just what I was thinking. Nothing worse than get NG the leak then thinking what now
Did u manage to get the carpet out in the end
Hi, I actually only needed to lift the edge to check. Once I sealed the leak from the evaporator, the car has been bone dry since I did the video!
What sealant did you use? And is the sealant a strong bond? Because it will be hard removing that cabin filter cap again as it has been sealed. If you can let me know asap. Thank you
I just used a little silicone, you can still remove if needed, just use a little
After all, did you encounter any issues? I have the same problem with my 2008 Honda Civic. The issue is that the cabin filter is damp, but the cavity where it fits is dry. The filter is wet at the lower part, especially near the passenger side door. I've also observed water droplets seeping in that area, right where the cavity's filter closure flap is located.
Since the video I've been bone dry. The cabin filter may be getting wet from the intake in engine?
@@GrooveOn what do you mean? Can you be more specific?
@@mateialexandruionut2545 if you watch the video, you'll see how I fixed the leak, it was the seal on the cover for the Evaporator, once sealed I got no more condensation dripping from AC. Try turning off your AC to see if it stops leaking
I watched the entire video and followed the steps you took in that video. I have already tested it, and when I turn off the AC, there are no more water drips. However, from your video, I saw that you applied sealant in two places: at the flap where the cabin filter is located, and also in that area where you removed three screws and put back that piece that provides a seal and was originally installed on the sponge. I know that after applying the sealant in that area, you noticed there was still water leakage, so you also applied sealant to the cover of the cabin filter. I would like to know what the actual problem is. If you can help me with this, I would appreciate it.
Exactly Mat. Video isn't clear at all
Thanks mate great video
No problem 👍
Same problem here, but not able to fix this myself. Can anyone recommend someone able to do this? Hertfordshire based
Whereabouts in Herts are you
Cheers pal
welcome
I am facing same problem from my honda civic 2010
Did you check the seal at condenser? Also check pipe drain too, my car is super dry now! 🤟
that wont fix the problem, youll just get a massive build up of water in there. To fix you need to clear the drain pipe with high pressured air blast
well I appreciate the feedback but if you look at the video you will see that my drain pipe was clear and condensation was coming out. It's been a year now and car is super dry
@@GrooveOn ah sorry man, whats timecode where you see the drain pipe?
@@MediaEasier hi mate it's around 6:15
