i went out tonight and noticed a damp patch under the car. on further examination i can trace it back to a dangling rubber hose tucked away at the back of the engine bay running down the bulkhead.

i am hoping the pipe/tube/hose is just a drain for the scuttle panel or something.

can anyone confirm this?

Does this hose have a flap on the end of it?

Rhodie it could be the that as its in the same location. heater is always on and i turned it off as i parked tonight so makes sense

Hes got a 1.8 petrol, so no fbh.

If it's got a flap on it it'll be a drain.

100% its the air con drain thing. it comes on anyway wether you depress the switch. Its in the manual too.

Nobody has used the word 'condensation' yet.

Yes - it'll be from the air-con - from the condensation trap in the heat exchanger.

Time to worry is if it doesn't drip out the pipe - if it blocks then you get wet carpets.
