Thread: A/C drain

Not a waste of time at all, it is a well documented flaw, and the resolution is exactly as you have done!

Nice touch with the 90 degree bend as well

I usually have a steady stream of water running out from underneath the car after using the aircon, leaving a decent puddle. Is this normal? I do live in central Queensland so the air humidity is pretty high here.

Perfectly normal mate. My D2 has always done exactly the same thing, especially in humid weather. My D4 does the same.

mine leaks front and back

I think its an urban myth,,
we never drive in the rain?

the problem is they are not greaseable.
we'd be better off putting some grease nipples in than worrying about a little water.

With water always dripping out, I have heard the idea that if you could collect this water some how and direct it to the engine bay, you could have it topping up the wind screen washer bottle?????

Makes sense if you have air conditioning in the rear. (HSE)

There is a condensate drain outlet on the rear A/C unit, passenger side.

I agree with you here, why the shaft was released as a non servicable item is beyond me
