Car Forum / Honda Cars / October 200495 Ody A/C condensate hose
This hose seems to have plugged up. Is it enough to blow it out with high pressure air or should more be done as a preventative measure? Thanks, Lar > This hose seems to have plugged up. > > Is it enough to blow it out with high pressure air My thinking is that this would blow the gunk back in where it would soon clog the line again. On my Civic it is easy to grab hold of the drain hose and pull it off the nipple on the evaporator housing. Doing this, you could blow out the hose from the inside instead. Perhaps some careful poking with a pipe cleaner would clear the evaporator housing nipple? > or should more be done as a preventative measure? That would be a preventive measure, preventative is a noun. > Thanks, Lar > > This hose seems to have plugged up. > > [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > > That would be a preventive measure, preventative is a noun. ------------------------- Does one remove the hose from under the car or under the dash?

On my Civic you can remove the hose from inside the cabin. At the front / bottom edge of the evaporator housing there is a plastic nipple. The rubber hose is pushed onto this nipple and goes forward about 4 inches before going through the firewall. In the engine compartment it is held in place by a couple of clips. On my car it is very easy to remove the entire hose and clean it out in the sink. Access may be more tricky on the ody. You might want to put a towel in the floor before you start. People have reported unpleasant surprises as they manage to open up the clogged drain. > Oh, and thanks for the grammer lesson. Never a dull moment on Usenet!

Pulled it off, ran a 12 gauge wire through it and also poked into the evaporator drain pan through the hose nipple. Everything seems clean. I ran the A/C and its draining fine now. Maybe I fixed it, maybe it was nothing that I did. Thanks for your help in either event, Lar |
