I had exactly the same problem about three years a go on a 96 passat (just before the model change).

It turned out to be the grommet where the bonnet release cable goes through the bulkhead had pulled out. I pushed it back in and plastered a silicone sealer over it and it has been fine since.

However, a couple of months ago, I noticed that the inside of the car was very damp again. The carpets and foamy stuff have all been taken out. This time, it was just the drivers footwell that was sopping wet. The grommet around the bonnet release cable is still in place. I've dried it all out and we've had a couple of torrential rainstorms since then, but no water has come into the car so I'm stumped.

It's a toughy, but I can explain. The door handle (the part you pull to close, not the latch pull to open) has a cover, it's the fine line you see, take a screw driver and pry that off (it can be very difficult) there are 2 philips screws under it. After that, take off the 3 torx screws on the bottom of the panel.. then, pull the bottom with a quick firmness, and it should pop, then pull until it's loose and lift upwards to lift it off the door, then un-hook all the connections (they are color coded or they only plug in one hole, so don't worry about where they went until you go back together. Getting off the window regulator is much more fun. Unbolt all the 10mm bolts surrounding the panel, then pop the clips holding on the door latch (you won't need to reattach this, it's not needed, it's on the right near where the latch pull goes into the panel). Then you'll see big black circle plugs, pop those plugs and line up the window bolts till you can see them through the hole, unscrew them a little because they squeeze a clamp that holds the window, they don't go through, then slide up the window and secure it, and then work the panel out. ..

For a quick diagnosis, if you can pick up or move the window anything more than 1/2 an inch w/o using the button, than your regulator is broken and will need a new one.. also don't get a "repair kit" because i've had major problems with those, one scratches a window badly, and they are terribly hard to work and install.

I had the same problem as this. There is a pipe that runs from the petrol tank around and up into the air inlet shaft under the spare wheel well. I am not sure exactly what it does I think it has an expansion valve on it. There is a join in this between two tubes that join. This is a simple piece of fuel tube with an internal dimension of say 5mm. If you feel your hand into that air shaft there, locate the fuel tube feel your way along the pipe, you will find the join. Just pull the old one out and put a new piece in. Very simple. really

open doors and look for drain holes try sliding a wire into holes does it go in easily? if yes they check door seals for torn of loose seal, is there a sunroof/moonroof does this leak? get in car and have someone hose for awhile and look for leaks with a flash light? if door drian holes are blocked remove panel and clean inside. have you been using a/c? if yes is the a/c drain line blocked and condensation is leaking into cabin, also the front windshield has a grate at bottom remove grate and check channel for blocked drains or leaking seal. good luck on this one of these should be your problem.
