Water on floor of VW T4 Trooper
Can anyone advise where the water on floor behind drivers seat and around fridge is coming from? I know fridge is obvious culprit but appears dry. For the past 2 weeks our beloved Trooper has been away being re sprayed and we did not notice the water on the floor until we got home. Is there any type of coolant loss attributable to this or has anyone experienced a similar problem after their Trooper has been laid up? Any advice from members greatly appreciated. Sylvia

Any chance it's the side window behind the fridge?? Might have been left open a bit at the paint shop??
Can't see how it could be coolant. The water pump is not far away under the sink - so that's possible - might have cracked a filter in the recent frost? Might be worth pulling the panel off at the back of the loo cupboard - you should be able to see the pump and look for drips?

Was the windscreen removed when it was resprayed? Check under the dash to see if there is a water trail running down from the screen/door pillar area and disappearing under the drivers floor carpet.
It could also be water ingress through the fridge vents when it was washed.

Re: Water on floor of VW T4 Trooper
Just bumping this thread to see if there was an outcome as I have noticed the same problem today, however think it is the vents behind the fridge as they are not on very well and when i removed them I did feel the floor was wet below the lower vent, and the pipe lagging is damp around the upper vent.
The van has not moved for two weeks and was sitting with the camber exposing the vents to the elements more.
I would ideally like to replace the vents with black ones can anyone recomend a place to buy these to match?

Re: Water on floor of VW T4 Trooper
....this time of year my vent covers stay on - easier to paint than the vents themselves, which would be the cheapest option.
They can be found on ebay - but they are not a universal size, so measure the vents. The two covers are not the same size.
