Post subject: | The wonders of AC! |
Strange thing when water droplets started spitting from left centre air vent, occasionally. Was out during the day with the car running around when it happened again & felt the AC was not blowing as cold, but just better than normal air. At the time, as I'm still running the car in after putting it back together from a re-spray, just thought I must have a leak in the system. After lunch, realised I had lost left side speakers on the stereo, took it out & after fiddling about with ISO connector a little, got sound from left side again. A little later, stopped for coffee(& a sugary treat, I might add!) & when I got back in the car, the stereo was now dead! Obviously, as soon as I got home, had to inspect ![]() ![]() So, it gets worse. Apparently, the water had nowhere to go but leaked wherever it could & some of it was dripping onto the stereo(my perfectly good Becker which I was quite happy with) & most probably ruined it ![]() I found this out by removing the stereo, & by means of blowing through a flexible pipe into the tunnel drain, which was good, then took off the elbow pipe drain, also good. Then blew into the heater matrix drain hole, & this felt like I was blowing into a water tank as I could here the bubbles of air. As soon as I removed the pipe, water came running down just like an open tap ![]() Anyhow, thought I'd share this experience with anyone who has AC, to be aware. |

I do believe it’s not just a problem on AC cars but can happen to all of them right up to the 968 |

Could be. Although I assume that AC would be the worst, as the Evaporator creates a lot of condensation(especially in humid climates) as opposed to the heater radiator, which helps evaporation. |
