Aircon Leak???

[Captcav]

Guys,

Drive back from Nelson Bay to Syd recently middle of the in 30 deg heat, mostly freeway travel with the aircon on. Found water leaking under the drivers floor matt, seemed to be coming near the left foot wall under the transmission tunnel.

Is it common to get water from the aircon in this area? has this happen to anyone before? Solutions?

Cheers,

There are 2 small rubber hoses joining the base of the A/C unit to the side of the tunnel, one on the drivers side and one on the passengers side. I would suggest the hose has come out of the A/C unit or has split.

I am not sure if you can access this by removing the small deflection A/C duct between the foot rest and the center console, a phillips screw in the center, Else you will have to remove the center console for access.

Could the two drain pipes be blocked with crud?

YES!!!............

Very common problem, simply crawl underneath and look up into the transfer tunnel area, about level with the middle of the gearbox and you will see the 2 tubes (1 each side) , give them a squeeze / wiggle / prod / poke and you will most likely get a bit of crud out and hopefully some water if its blocked ;)
