    A/C Drains alot of water

    Hi,

    ever since I have had the D2 i have noticed that every time I park up and come back that the A/C drains out alot of water from both sides,
    is this normal ??

    I run my heating cooling system set to on Auto and adjust the temp as needed

    It's called condensate, caused by high humidity and an A/C system that works! Once the compressor stops the vanes warm and any ice accumulated changes state to water then drains out of the ducts.

    If it's inside the car you have a problem with the drainage system!

    You won't find me on: faceplant; Scipe; Infragam; LumpedIn; ShapCnat or Twitting. I'm just not that interesting.

    There is a drain for each side off the heater box.
    They drop through the floor in the transmision tunnel.
    One drops on the cardin joint, the other on to the inhibitor(xyz) switch on an auto.
    I think there is a link in the good oil to a simple modification.
    It's extending the hoses to avoid the above and future repair bills.
    Cheers, Kyle
