A/C related SPLASH (not leak)

Postby narita » Tue May 20, 2014 9:11 pm

Good afternoon,

for the past month or two, when using the a/c for extended periods and then taking any hard corner the poor passengers have had about a litre of water splashed onto their feet.

Now i decided to do some investigating, and removed the a/c drain hose (pictured below) to check for blockages. NONE.

Image

I then removed the drain hose and ran the a/c, No water, not even a drop, would appear.

I purchased a roll of wire from a lovely elderly lady at home hardware (she was giving rave reviews on candy crush for ipad)
and took the internets advice and feed the wire up.

i was sure i heard what sounded like stiff leaves. but i could be and probably am wrong.

as common as issue as this seems in the states, surely some others here have encountered this issue?

advice would be appreciated :cry:

Shoot a PM to someone who has a stripped back NB, trackcar, ie; Boyracer.

When you turn your car on, does it return the favour?
