Parked the car on my drive (MY99 dealer fitted aircon), went out to put it in the garage and noticed a pool of liquid that had obviously leaked from the car http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/frown.gif
Definately not oil, more like water. I had had the air con on for about 10 mins prior to pulling up at home so i suspect the air con is leaking. Anyone else experienced anything similar or should I take go back to my dealer ? Any comments/advice appreciated. Cheers Neil |
Neil,
Probably just the aircon venting the water it has taken out of the air as it was working (it dehumidfies the air when running). DaveW |
Tis nothing to worry about.
It`s water and if you think about it, you have "air conditioning". It removes humidity from the surrounding atmosphere, hence the pool of water. It`s more noticeable in summer with its` greater temperatures. If its of any use, aircon should be used with the windows shut to gain the biggest benefit. Hope this helps. |
Oh....
and use it during the winter for 2 reasons 1, it demists the interior quicker and better and 2, you can lose the gas from the system if its left unused for a while. |

Just to add to Maddog's spot-on posts, keep the slider to the left / recirclulate otherwise it doesn't work effectively & feels clammy not cool. AKA JamesH |
Try not to leave it on recirculate for ever though as you might find you start getting a tad sleepy on long journeys! http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/wink.gif
On a more serious note, I find it helps to switch the recirc lever from left to right & back every ten minutes or so. It's as if once the air-con has got most of the moisture out of the air, it can't cool it as effectively. Give it a "breath of fresh air" now & then and it seems to get colder still. |
