Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

After a nice hour long drive this afternoon, I pulled into the garage like always. I dropped a small bike part, so I got the flashlight, enjoying the warm garage thanks to the warm engine. When I shined a flashlight under the car, I saw a growing puddle! It looked like oil to me. Slowly, I reached under there (center of the car) with a paper towel, expecting to see an oily mess. What I got was nice clean water! Does the AC always drain out water after a drive? I've never checked under the car right after pulling into the garage before.

POST 2Original post

Yes, the condensation needs to go somewhere. Wouldn't drink it though.

POST 4Original post

Try living in Houston and driving around on a warm humid day with the top down. After about an hour, if you take a corner hard, icy water drips on your foot. I figured out that this weekend. It forms on the driver side vent pipe thingy.

POST 5Original post

What? You said I could drink it. Was that a joke

No joke...it's water condensed from ambient air so technically more pure than tap water. Drink away...

POST 7Original post

WTF... AC in nnj today? Gonna be 80 on Monday.

POST 8 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Good point, but since I don't drive the car every day, I leave the climate control set to auto, so the compressor has a chance to run and cycle - even if the heat is on.

POST 9Original post

Be careful, the condenser fins and surrounding plastic housing could be contaminated with mold and mildew. You are not drinking out of a sanitized cup here.

POST 10Original post

hey, mold is new new Washington State Flower.... you got something agains US ! that's kind of a gross thought though - mold growing in the AC but I do recal some musty smelling cars when the AC comes on
