Aircon leaking (1 Viewer)

[Blocheren]

I just noticed that water comes out at the passengers feet and also underneath the car, where it's not supposed to.. I guess some hose fell off, but don't know. Hope for a good advise instead of ripping everything apart..

Regards.

A/C water is supposed to drain, but not into the footwell. There’s a drain tube on the passenger firewall that’s likely clogged. Stick something in there to unclog it.

Yeah around 70% of the time or so it's just something clogging the drain tube.

AC dripping

I noticed a weird high pitched screaching yesterday but went away after a few seconds. See picture attached, is this box under the passenger side glove compartment part of the AC condenser box? It is cold and has some condensation and was dripping and making the carpet wet. I'm not sure what's...

I was getting water into the passenger foot well. I ended up changing the seal outlined in the above thread. No more leaks.

Thank you guys. I will have a look at it asap...

How much water is supposed to drain out ? I feel like I'm getting a lot of water draining out but I'm not sure.

a ton.
faster than a drip a second in 80-90% humidity

I cleaned the hose in engine bay and it was enough to fix the water issue in the cabin. But I realized that I don't have the cabin air filter, so I want to change the cover. Is there anything I should be aware of? Or just order a cover and filters..

2 filters you'll need. Fyi I got a pipe extension for the a/c condensate line because it was leaking on my ahc lines and rusting them-be sure to check that out lots of water comes out. When I routed the pipe I don't think it was draining properly at first(I got cute and twisted it so it came out a hole in the frame) so water then dripped in the cabin passenger foot well. I replaced the evap gasket at that time and readjusted the pipe. Solid now. My evap gasket was probably fine but I think it got extra stress from the pipe extension.

I was also considering an extension for the drain on the outside. No need for the water to drip all-over the metal..
