When I drive around a tight right hand corner clean water flows through the
ventilation fan above the front passenger footwell.

I now think that the water is condensate created by the air conditioning and
it must be laying in a pool somewhere in the air ducts.

Is there a drainage tube that allows the condensate to drain away and if so,
where do I find it?

Thanks,

Rudge

In my car, the water that flows through the blower fan into the footwell is
clear and odourless so its either rainwater or condensate.

I crawled under the car to see if there was any rubber hoses to take water
away from the 'bulkhead' area but could not find any.
Maybe they forgot to fit the drain on the production line?

I may have to take the interior trim off to investigate. I think the
Air/con heat exchanger is somewhere near the heater matrix. The Haynes
manual has no info on the Air/con.

Regards,

Rudge
