leons leaky footwells is chronic, take off the door trim, get silicon sealant and run a bead around the panel youll see attached. alternitively you can remove said panel, tear off all the old butle strip and replace it.

i did silicon method last winter, havnt leaked since.

also, in cold starts my coolant light comes on, jus switch off and restart, goes away, no idea why, something ive read is about the 2 prongs become corroded in the tank, so gives a false reading.

This is how to fix the door leaks properly.

Yes clean the 2 prongs when the engine is cold, in the expansion tank.Use a screwdriver or your partners toothbrush

Someone with the knowledge should put all the usual winter questions with answers and sticky it, for those that don't know and/or new owners and stops multiple posts. Just saying
