andyvvc Posted June 27, 2009 Posted June 27, 2009 Please, someone re-assure me that the overflow for condensation from the aircon compressor is on the passenger side of the car, a little bit back from the front wheel. My car has started peeing out of a hole in the undercarriage at this point. The drips go thru the middle of a hole which seems to be there for that exact reason. Liquid is clear, no smell - all my coolant levels etc are ok. I only see the peeing after having had the aircon on. Or if the car has been parked for a few days after a long run with aircon and i move it a little. When i spotted this on my old 200SX the pipe from the condensor was directly over the path of the front exhaust downpipe - thus much noise, hissing and water left me having a heart attack when that first happened. Seems the Zed is a little more discrete ....this is the aircon condensor just peeing, right ? Quote

IanS16 Posted June 27, 2009 Posted June 27, 2009 When I first got my Zed I rang big Phil (someone who used to trade here) thinking I had a leak. Turns out its just the aircon thawing out. Was funny at the time anway.... Think you'll find its just this mate. Quote
