Default Something's wrong with my S5

So I posted a week or two ago, about hearing liquid movement in my car, when shifting the car's weight around. Well the other day when cleaning the interior, I noticed that the floor mat on the rear passenger side was wet. I smelt it, and Im pretty sure it was water, but thought maybe it was a friend or something. Well today checked it out again, and the floor mat is soaked with what once again seems to be water. Very upset, going to the dealer as soon as they open tomorrow. Anyone have any similar situation, or any idea what the hell might be going on? Thanks.

Default No guys I wasn't banging a girl out in there.

And I don't even let my friend bring drinks in the car, anyway it's at the dealer now. Service guy said maybe it's like a pollen seal or some ****, we'll find out soon enough.

Default Sorry to hear - hopefully its caught soon enough and dried out to avoid nasty smells.

Nothing worse than a car that smells like mold.

I had a full bottle of detail spray leak into my trunk last week. my whole car smells like it now, its not terrible but i open my windows for a few minutes to get some fresh air inside.

Default Well if it would have been in the front footwell I would have said a plugged up drain line for the

AC in the dash. My RS6 had a plugged line and I heard water in the lower dash sloshing around and it would spill over into the wheel well. My real comment though is that Audi likes to put a lot of electronics in/under the footwells so it needs to be checked carefully.
