A/C condensation into passenger footwell

Post by RS6_TOY » Wed Jul 25, 2012 11:48 pm

Hi all haven't had time to look into this problem I have at the min, when I have the a/c on after 10 mins or so I'm seeing water/ condensation dripping from the heater box side of things.

I'm going to take the glove box out Sunday and see if the a/c drain pipe is split or blocked,

any one had the same problem ??

Are you sure it's AC related?...The 2 common problems are (if an Avant) the rear windscreen scoosher tube poping off at a connection in this area or water ingress between the windscreen scuttle and the windscreen...either needs to be sorted pronto...theres an electrical box of tricks under the passenger seat (carpet).

It's fairly common, but more often turns out to be rain water coming in through the pollen filter.

There is an A/C drain that you can get to reasonably easily by pulling the carpet back towards you. Near the center console, can't remember if it's driver or passenger side.

Yer it's defiantly A/C related as its clear water and very cold, I will check and double check that pipe tho !! I haven't been using the A/C So all is dry for the min.
