Hi
I get water dripping into the passenger side footwell when the air conditioner is on. Apart from the water, everything is working well. Any ideas?
Cheers

It's all Bollox.

Suspect it is the air con drain as Mooch advises. IIRC the drain is at the passenger side bulkhead behind the glovebox area (close to the main heater box in the centre). You should be able to see a plastic pipe exiting through the bulkhead facing downwards.
From past experiences the end of the pipe (outside the car) has a rubber flap and can get blocked with dirt, leaves etc, thus not allowing the water to run out and instead pi$$es on your carpet. I have even seen them blocked with wax from when the cars were built.
Hope this helps.

Sorry to hijack the thread but it is related::
My AC stinks for about 1 minute after start up then the smell clears (or I get used to it). Smells like sweaty feet. I tried those canister cleaners that you set off inside the car with the full recycle AC setting on and it made no difference. Is there something or a filter I can change to sort this out?

Have you changed your pollen filter?
