arnox Posted October 17, 2004 Share Posted October 17, 2004 There is already a thread about this someplace on this site. However, I wanted to raise awareness about this problem, because many people may have the problem and not know about it. A few days ago, I purchased a couple of oil filters for my 2.5GTW and I tossed them on the floor, in front of the passenger-side seat. They were laying there for about one rainy day. When I finally reached for them, - they were both soaking wet! Further investigation revealed a considerable amount of water under the passenger-side carpet, and the water was coming from above (closer to the center console). Had I not have something there, I probably never would’ve known that there was a major leak. After driving in the rain, or just having your car outside in the rain, check the passenger side floor for water leaks – around where your left foot would be.

bebopper Posted October 17, 2004 Share Posted October 17, 2004 [size=2]My dealer found a seal in the A/C condenser housing was leaking. Took them a couple trys to find the problem, since it only leaks when cornering, not when standing still.[/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex1 Posted October 17, 2004 Share Posted October 17, 2004 is this a problem with the 2.5 gt lmt as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
outahere Posted October 18, 2004 Share Posted October 18, 2004 [quote name='Alex1']is this a problem with the 2.5 gt lmt as well?[/QUOTE] It is a potential problem with all cars, not just Legacies. I have seen numerous complaints about water dripping on the driver when getting in/out of the Legacy after a rain shower, but this is the first I have seen about water collecting on the floor.

It is because of the frameless windows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My last 4 have not had a problem -- it's only on the 05 Leg/OB because they ditched the raingutters. My 02 had raingutters and it was fine. Back to the original problem, it's probably a plugged AC drain line. I hear about this in lots of new cars, it's a typical "defect". The dealer can fix it.

agctr Posted October 18, 2004 Share Posted October 18, 2004 Yes this is a known problem with the A/C hosing. Take it back to your dealer and get it attended to. Let us know how you go. Adam. PS. Moving this thread to Warranty Issues. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would they put a plug like that inside the cabin? Updated my vBGarage: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
