I followed a similar path, eventually had to pull the dash out, not once, but twice because I thought I still had a leak however it was left over water that hadn't dried out of the carpet insulation sponge and just gradually seeped out via gravity.
In my case it was a break in the seal of the scuttle panel, on heavy rain it would run down the screen, through the scuttle into the pollen filter and down through into the air system, this in turn would fill up and come out through the seams into the passenger well only. Its all sorted now and has been solid for a while and completely leak free, but it was a ball ache to get solved. If you can, leave the car outside when its gutted of interior for a couple weeks after you have mad it bone dry and periodically water test with a hose, or if its raining, just keep an eye on it before you put the carpet back in. There some good S2central guides on the S2 forum on how to get the dash out (some hooks and clips weren't obvious) and there is also some notes on seam cracking with some cars as well, where the bulkhead and the scuttle were sealed poorly from factory or suffered stress fractures, although not as bad as that suffered by SAABs[/quote] Thanks Been working off of this so far http://www.motorgeek.com/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=38529 Seems to cover the job I'm 80% of the way there, may as well just bite the bullet |

Vagcat lists the part no. 894819031A, that's for a right hand drive 90 on 88 model year.
No reason to distrust Nissens so far, substantially cheaper to boot, one of those numbers should cross reference hopefully |

The OEM is Valeo which i always prefer. Valeo part number is 812012
As for the leak, check the fuse box lid is on securely and the sunroof drains if you have one

Car stripped out and drying properly, no obvious tell tales as to where the water is coming from albeit not stripped the heat exchanger out yet.
Remarkable straightforward to do, it's well designed for it's day. |
