dtmenace Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 'preciate it...but, i would rather have the dealer do it, seeing as how the carpet is already starting to smell. After reading the previous pages, I don't want them trying to tell me it is because of something that i did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spec B Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 I installed my RBS lip last night and I noticed (while working on the passenger side undercarriage) that a little 4" rubber tube/straw looking thing fell out. Is this the condenser drain tube?? And if so..where does it go? and will i have draining issues if it is not attached? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dtmenace Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y124/PatagonianGT/drainplugs.jpg don't know if this helps...but see if there is a tube in the diagram above that might correspond to the one you have dangling. my dealership had my car for 5 days, re-sealed the windshield - even though they were not sure this is where the water was coming from...and i haven't had any hard rains to be sure it's fixed:( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dtmenace Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 you can also search vacation pics for more diagrams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spec B Posted December 2, 2006 Share Posted December 2, 2006 Thanks...I looked through vacation pics and no luck. It was really odd..the tube was just sitting on top of the under carraige plastic unsecured, so when I removed the plastic it sorta of rolled out. It was sitting near where the intake resonator used to be..maybe it came loose when I removed the resonator 5 months ago. The good news is no water in the passanger footwell.

dtmenace Posted December 3, 2006 Share Posted December 3, 2006 ^that of course it the most important thing!! I did not remember any specific hoses that would have come undone from the silencer delete, but it might be a good idea to check the clamps on the side of the airbox for the original tubes/wiring...and see what you come up with. good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Underdog Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 +1 to the original problem... I will be checking the line this afternoon. link to my thread about the problem... The Crimson Dynamo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NatesGr8 Posted September 30, 2007 Share Posted September 30, 2007 This problem just happened to me last week...well i noticed it Thursday night (3 nights ago) but I'm sure it has been going on for a while. I've been noticing a strange smell in my car for the past two weeks. Anyway, my entire floor was soaked through the floor mat, carpet, and padding below. I tore it apart today...to at least dry it out, and found water everywhere, even some rust. I will be calling the dealer tomorrow to have them finish up fixing my problem. I checked the drain tube and it seems clear. When i turn the a/c on, water drips out of it. I didn't feel like leaving the a/c for an extended period of time to see where the leak is, at this point I'd rather have the dealer deal with it. Hopefully this is all under warranty, i have an 05 with about 48k miles on it. Also, my car does not have a drain plug to pull in the floor. There's a spot where it looks like one could have been, but no hole was cut out to put a plug in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Underdog Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 ^ Good luck, and please keep us posted... This sounds exactly like my problem and I really don't think it's the drain tube. The Crimson Dynamo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NatesGr8 Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 Dealer "fixed" the problem last Monday or Tuesday, by blowing out the "clogged" drain hose. So i took my car back, used the a/c for a couple days and then decided to pull back the carpet and check things out. Water again...so as of this morning my car is back at the dealer and they're digging deeper. Hopefully they fix it this time, if it needs to go back a 3rd time I'm going to be a bit unhappy.

NatesGr8 Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 well i just got a call from my dealer, they don't know whats wrong with it and will need to take things apart and dig deeper...but thats not covered under warranty so i would be paying hourly for them to not solve the problem. Looks like I'll be taking more things apart in the driveway this weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BayArea06NAmt Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 This is ridiculous. I'm noticing the same problems. Passenger floormat turns into a big sponge. Water coming down from below/behind glove box and other unknown places. Fan makes weird noise. I say angry words... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BayArea06NAmt Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 Not garaged. The problem persists in dry weather. I can hear the fan making an unusual noise when the defroster or AC is on, and I can see where the dripping is originating from. I don't think my situation has anything to do with the previously mentioned roofline drainage issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BayArea06NAmt Posted October 11, 2007 Share Posted October 11, 2007 as ghetto as this sounds, i'll probably tape a garbage bag around the passenger footwell and place a towel on top. better to have any water go there than beneath the carpet and cause irreversible damage, or sit and stink like a$$. will call the dealer soon.

NatesGr8 Posted October 15, 2007 Share Posted October 15, 2007 i haven't washed my car since this happened, or about 2 months before i noticed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starhm Posted October 15, 2007 Share Posted October 15, 2007 This is the drain hose from the condenser for the ac located in the dash behind the radio. were you behind the radio for anything...it happened to me after I installed my harmon kardon back there on the passenger side of the dash opening. it is just a hose that came off the drain outlet. the dealership had it on in 5 minutes. dont run the defroster or ac until you get it fixed up if you can help it.
