Title: A/C water drain hose
Post by: MV6Man on 24 June 2008, 18:57:09

Where is it, i don´t find it.
Even if i use A/C for 15 minutes on my garage, i don´t see any water anywhere under my car.
Is it common on these to be blocked or does it drop it´s water over exhaust or something?

It can drop onto the floor, as far as I recall....  Could simply be onto the engine/gearbox block and evaporating - or your weather is particularly dry at the moment!

Where is that pipe located under the car.?

Could it be tested if i connect a hose to it and blow hard, i suppose that it should go straight to aircon unit?

And no to dry , weather is pretty moist now...

I found two hoses under the car, left one is longer, and right one is just 2 or 3 cm long.
When engine is running and AC on it blows cold air through these so i presume that these aint blocked? Is it working correctly?

I´m thinking that i may have an faulty hbv because my heater matrix gets pretty hot even when ac is set to low.
My car has extra pump in heater pipe, i thought that i could unplug it in summer so that it doesnt heat up so much, has anybody ever tested it unplugged?

And one question more. Where is that mixer flap located so i could make sure that it operates correctly?

Okay, changed that HBV yesterday, Now those matrix pipes won´t get so hot anymore.  
Old one´s part number is 90 566 947 and new one 90 457 649.
I noticed that when i had those both in my hands. Only difference i found was in that valve what moves up and down.

My epc tells that 649 one is for finland,norway and sweden.

Thats weird, cant think why they would have a different HBV code for colder climbs.
