Air con drains

peter3696 · Sep 28, 2007

Hi guys,
Now I know this one has probably been done to death on the forum but I'm getting water in both footwells of my 300tdi and my td5.I know it's coming from the aircon and I must be blind but where the hell are the drain pipes underneath? Neither seem to have any obvious pipes.Has anyone got any pictures of the underneath of both cars or can tell me the locations.
Thanks in advance for any help.

It's been covered but not quite to the death.
Have a look here:

This is from a RR but it's about the same place as on tdis. The drips fall directly on the ground so no point looking for the drains between the gearbox and the tunnel for example.

I will have a look at that over the weekend,

Thanks for your help.

I've just been under the td5 with a torch and found the one on the driver's side,pulled the cone shaped bung out of the pipe and got about half a pint of cold water down my sleeve.Result! However the one on the passenger side is a little harder to get at,will have to leave that until tomorrow.Bit of a poor design though,think I might leave the bungs out for a while to let them drain properly.Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

The cone shaped bung thingys are only needed if you go swimming with your landy, they are designed to not let water back in, if you dont do serious off roading or driving through rivers then leave them out but keep them in the glove box in case you need them in future.

Oh right thanks for telling me that about the bungs.I'm going offroading in the 300tdi next weekend,I'd better get the bungs back in!
