Passenger footwell wet

shaunm41 · Jun 21, 2013

As the weather getting Warmer I noticed water dripping under car around gearbox. Doesn't loose coolant so presumed aircon. But now the passenger footwell is soaking. Dripping from around diagnostic plug. It doesn't seem to drip when aircon off though. Any thoughts.

Thanks

Does sound air con related, possibly drain tubes blocked. Could also be heater matrix, but as not losing coolant that's unlikely.

shaunm41 · Jun 21, 2013

Where are the drains for aircon to unblock them?

quattro6999 · Jun 21, 2013

They come out under the floor pan, either side of the transmission tunnel

It'll be the a/c drain tubes if your passenger side is wet you'll spot the tubes when you crawl underneath

If you have water dripping within the car it is likely the tube is disconnected under the heater. Take the side panel off and have a look. You will have to move the rear vent ducts to get at them though. Bit of a fiddly job.

Just had chance to have a look at this as its now too hot to drive round without aircon. It seems the water is collection in the ducting here and dripping out the joint behind the glove box

Pollen Filter Covers not sealing properly!

shaunm41 · Jul 9, 2013

Would that cause the leak only when air con is on??

Where are these pollen filters located

Thanks

Maybe not then!!

They are located under the plastic scuttle panel under the windscreen.

Av located the drain pipes and they were both full of bits of glass and crap.. Cleaned them out and also the pollen filters look like they never been changed from new... And the seals had seen better days so gonna get them on order

shaunm41 · Jul 9, 2013

Where can I get the rubber seals for the pollen filter cover? The covers are fine but the seals need replacing

I just run some silicon sealant round mine when I do them. Pays to put a blob on the screw head just above (on the windscreen side of the covers) as well, as I had that leaking (as have other members on here).

shaunm41 · Jul 9, 2013

The covers I have just have is long and thin with 1 screw on each end

marcinbrighton · Jul 9, 2013

yep, clear silicone around those, and while you've got the stuff in hand, pop a blob on the screw as well. just eliminates that as a point of leak

shaunm41 · Jul 9, 2013

Will do. Thanks a lot.

Well I've cleaned the drains out and that can be seen as there's water dripping under the car now. But it's still leaking from the ducting......

So, is it clear water or coolant? Clear = condensate or rainwater, red or blue = coolant.
