Hi Sandeep, Audi The Netherlands helped me once with this problen and wanted me to pay the invoice of around €600. I refused to pay andtold them that this is a structural problem and there is nothing I can do about it. After much whining back and forth they agreed anyway. But I was also very angry and being angry in a showroom full of people wanting to buy a new Audi probably helped because they wanted me to be calm:) I have contacted Audi afterwards and they still don't accept that this is problem is a construction fault. They probably don't want to admit due to the costs it will bring with this type A6. I keep pointing this out to them every time I am at Audi for service. I had the same problem as you that water was getting into the car. What I do now is I always removed the leaves in the fall. I do that around the wipers and under the hood. Also, I open the plastic parts under the hood around the wipers and remove leaves etc here as well. I also use a vacuum cleaner with a long thin hose to get to the parts where my hands can't come and sometimes I also use a a high pressure blower (compressor). If there is still water in there, it has to be sucked out first because that (rain)water will come inside the car once it gets to a certain level. I know, it's ridiculous that you have to do this with a car of this price. This is my 4th Audi A6 and I have more problems with it than this alone. So I think it is the last Audi I bought. I hope this helped. I did not have any problems anymore after I have been removing the leaves (almost every day in the fall).

The latter indeed seems to be the same problem indeed. Funny enough, a friend of mine has an Audi A5, same problem. He went to Pon company which is the importer of Audi in the Netherlands They fixed the problem by installing some kind of tube, and they did it for free because they knew the problem. I have to call my friend this week for more information. Then I will also contact Pon company. When I showed the problem to the Audi dealer in my city, they reacted as if they saw it for the first time, which must have been a lie. I will keep you updated here.

Looking at the video, I will try this soon. Can you leave the hole open so leaf debris and water can get out more easily? I actually don't see why it couldn't be done. Anyone have an idea?

Yes, it is a common problem. I have it to with my A6 C8. What I try now is to remove falling leaves every week under the hood and near the wipers. It is ridiculous that this has to be done on a car with this purchase price. The car dealer says there is nothing else they can do about it.
