andyvvc Posted June 27, 2009 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IanS16 Posted June 27, 2009 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
