AC condensation maybe??? I see a trail of drips on my driveway when I pull into the garage.

 

Oh yeah, could be. We don't normally use aircon (I live in Canada afterall, I can just roll down the window) . But we might have had it on, and it was pretty humid. Thanks.

 

I had exactly the same thing happened to me last week. We had a very warm day ( Unusual for England) I was parked up after a run & had been using the A/C .I notices a small stream of water running under the Jeep. I checked it out & realised it was condensation from the A/C compressor. Warm day+A/C=Condensation/Water.

I check these boards for verification & found other had this happen . No problem!!

I hopeing this is your prob solved also.

 

I've seen that after driving in fog, or in the mornings when the dew is about.

 

either it's condensation from the A/C, or water is trapped somewhere and slowly leaks out in the draining along the hood (to prevent water from getting into the engine bay when it rains, etc)

 

Sounds like A/C condensation. A very normal thing when it's humid and warm.

 

yupp, i have a large trail of water after having the A/C on...completely normal

 

*********************************************************

I've recently experienced this same water leak.....although I know it definitely isn't from the A/C as I haven't been using it due to it being Autumn in the U.K!!

I have had a look under the vehicle and I can see that water is coming out of a small rubber tube, which I can only describe as coming from inbetween the rear of the dashboard and the engine compartment nearer to the passenger side. (Right hand drive.)

The water drips out of this tube and directly onto a bolt which appears to be on some part of the chassis that is visible by looking under the bonnet and down the back of the engine. (2.0 CRD)

Can anyone help before I have to book the old girl in!??

Cheers chaps! :Racing:

 

Drain plug



rain/AC,
drains under the car,
Car doesnt run on water, so Engine doesnt leak water,
and amount could be quite a bit, several cups worth under the car, leaving a trail sometimes a few feet long.

 

Motorolley, that rubber tube is the AC system drain like above. It will drain out condensation when the AC system is on and also allow any water that entered the top vents out as well (like when it rains). If you run the defrost, that automatically runs the AC compressor to supply dehumidified air to the windshield.

 

todde702 is 100% right. Especially the part about defrost.

The way you describe it I am sure it is the A/C drain tube.

 

Thanks chaps......your responses have been welcomed and I'll look forward to asking more questions!!

If you need to know anything about bikes then I'll return the favour - otherwise this will probably turn into a one way relationship!! :notworthy:

 

Trek, Specialized or Kona?

 

I almost broke out into a sweat just at the thought of that type of bike......it would have to be Ducati, Honda or Triumph! :rockon:

 

Those aren't "real" bikes.

 

The AC compressor is cycled automatically in defrost, floor/defrost and vent/floor. Only truly disabled in vent only and heat/floor only.

 

That is what the dealer also told me today. My Pat is towed to the dealer today (after 5 days) because I lost my first, third and fifth gear.
Thanks for the info APT.

And as I don't have a sunroof :banana:, it wasn't the sunroof

 

although this is probably the ac condensation.

where is it that the sunroof drains are?

 

It's not the sunroof drain as mine doesn't have a sunroof.
