Air-con Condensation??????
« on: 15 August 2004, 22:30 »
noticed water dripping from the rear of the engine. Had a taste and there was no trace of coolant etc. An earlt GTI parked next to me and asked what I was doing. Told him and he replied that it was condensation from the air-con and his does this all the time in the hot weather. I was dubious to say the least as this was quite a substantial leak!!!!! Left the car for a couple of hours and went to re-inspect. Totally dry. Drove back to Nottingham and stopped half way for fuel, Had another look and was dripping again. Switched Climate off and drove the rest of the way home. Inspected once again and was dry. Have checked all my water levels and all seems fine. Anyone else come across this???? All help will be greatly appreciated. Thanx, Kev.

It's just an indication of how much humidity there is in the air at the moment..........

Cheers for that. I was worried though. Spoke to VW today and they told me the same.
