Thread: water leaking underneath due to aircon?

It's condensation from the air conditioner. It's because warm air can contain more humidity than cold air. There are two drains under your air conditioner in the cab that dribble clear condensation water either side of the gearbox. It's 100% normal. What you worry about is not seeing the condensation under the car, because then its soaking your carpets.

This is normal - condensation from the cooling system.
It means your drain tubes aren't blocked up. If they were, you'd end up with a wet carpet instead.
So all's good.

Doh, beaten by a few seconds. Must learn to type faster.

beat me to saying the same thing by 1min

That caught me out once, when A/C was still a very posh thing to have in a car in the U.K. (Not Rolls posh, but certainly Audi posh, for e.g.). Saw water leaking from below a lady's car in the servo, told her, & after several minutes trying to work it out, she said "Hang on, my car has air con. Could it be that?". Sad thing is I'm a fridgie. Boy did I feel a muppet! LOL

As long as the Muppet was appreciative! Lol😄

I have always wondered if I should somehow position a container underneath to catch the water for washing up etc. I reckon you would get several litres a day on a long trip. Maybe just route the hose into a 5 litre jerry can with a tap at the back, or maybe a length of PVC pipe capped and tapped.
