Question - after i removed the plastic covers, i found a 1/4 inch clear plastic hose that was disconnected, running along side of the A/C pipe to the left of the battery, just in front of the carbon filter.

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.

4 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I began to have a musty smell in the car when using the A/C this season, so i bought a can of Wurth "odor remover " from Autogeek. Decided to spray into the air intake where the carbon filter is under the hood, and low and behold, there is a pool of stagnant water and debris plugging the drainage holes on either side of the battery. Washed this area and flushed the drain holes - odor gone Question - after i removed the plastic covers, i found a 1/4 inch clear plastic hose that was disconnected, running along side of the A/C pipe to the left of the battery, just in front of the carbon filter. Does anyone know where it goes? Thanks

POST 3Original post

Could be the hose for the windshield washer?? I also found that the two 'holes' were plugged but cleaned them before A/C time came around. C'ya, Patrick

It (The 1.4 inch hose) attaches to the battery and vents gas and overflow acid out of the boot. One other tip re the ac. There is a tray under the AC unit in the passenger foot well. On the left rear side of it is a black rubber tube that drains the condensation from the AC unit out of the tub. I can get plugged with schmutz. When it does, the condensation overflows on to the footwell carpet. The tube can be run out with a snake or using compressed air works pretty well too.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
