    Any electronics under passenger seat?

    I was wonering if there are any electronics of any type under the passenger seat of an S6. (aside from the power seat stuff) I had a gallon of water on the floor behind the seat, and something punctured it. About 1/2 gallon peed out of the bottle, and the floor is soaked. I mopped some of it up and left the windows cracked. It's pretty hot here (Fallon, Nevada) so I figure that will help it evaporate.
    Is there anything under the passenger seat I should worry about?
    Thanks,
    T

    I know that there is nothing on the bottom of a A6 I have removed my seats a couple time and all of the electronics are buttoned up nicely under the seat.

    Re: Any electronics under passenger seat?

    Yes -- air bags controller of some sort is under carpet -- I had problem that turned out to be from AC condensate (a prior owner caused the flow relief to not operate), travelled from front right under carpet, filling up back compartment floor (lower than front). Damndest mystery since it seemed to "come from" the rear. Mechanic was sure I was nuts -- no way for water to go there except from car wash with window open. Eventually realized it wasn't from car wash, obviously was associated with using car and AC, and it was a huge problem.

    Had to pull out all the carpets, dry 'em out. Saved the carpets (a little clorox product to prevent mildew, and baking soda too). Quite the pita. I replaced the item ($100?), but it had been wet pretty long, not like you. Wouldn't worry about a gallon. Hell, I was filling up and pulling out by the gallon(s) pretty much every day for weeks!

    Wow Tony, I didn't expect to run into you on this forum!

    Are you still rocking an SHO?

    Thanks for the input. I think it's dry now,and it has been driving fine for about200 miles. I should check it with VAG COM. I have gotten a little too used to my CEL.

    Ian, I sold the SHO about 2-1/2 years ago. The new owner blew up the motor 2 days later, and as far as I know, it hasn't run since. I was out with Matt (Dr Evil from the SHO Forum) last night, and we both figure that we will own SHOs again. I would really like to buy mine back. I miss that car.
