I keep having to top my coolant bottle up every 3-4 days as its emptying its self.
My drivers footwell is very soggy, iv changed the heater matrix for a brand new one and I'm still getting water in the footwell so I know it isn't the matrix. Is there any other way water could be getting into the cabin from the engine?
It's an aircon model, does the aircon run off the coolant system or is it independent??

id say you havnt reconnected the matrix hoses properly then, if youve only just replaced the matrix itself. did you use new O rings when reconnecting the pipes?
