AC spills water into co-driver footwell

[Flo-w]

G'day,

before you say that the drain is blocked: it isn't (according to my mechanic).

That's what happens:
I drive with AC for a while (30-60 minutes) or if I had used AC the day before.
In tighter right turns water gushes out "under the glove box".
It can easily be 100ml a time and accumulates to something like 500ml - 1l over maybe 30 minutes.

Any idea what's going on there and how I could fix it?

Cheers

Doesn't compute, if the drain is not blocked than it should all be dripping/leaking out. I'd check the drain myself, and making sure that it actually is not leaking inside instead.
Cheers

yes, still sounds like your drain is blocked mate, how did you mechanic check this ?

Sometimes a build up of leaves/crud can still be at the entrance to the drain at the top, but the hose/pipe is free and clear of a blockage

When it starts dripping down, it may be a good time to get under and ascertain where its coming from, As above sounds like the drain is blocked to me as well. But if you see where its coming from then you know where your problem is which will make it easier to solve/fix.

AB spills BEER into co-driver footwell.

Definately unacceptable behaviour from the Forum Administrator!!LOL

(Sorry for the thread hijack)

Double check the drain is clear as fluff, leaves and dust can block it.

I would look at getting a new mechanic. What your describing is exactly what happens when the drain is blocked.

The pipe mightened be blocked, but it sounds like over the years the rubber has shrunk with the heat, and isn't making it through the firewall and onto the road below.
