Dear All

On a recent trip, I had two AC problems occur almost simultaneously.

1. Perhaps half a cup of water dripped from the condensor (passenger side foot-well) - mainly into my better half's handbag and shoes! This has happened once before - several months ago, but in the interim - no problem.

2. Soon afterwards the unit stopped cooling. No probs with fans - just pushing warm air! The next day it was working fine again.

According the guts book, the most likely cause of the first issue is a blocked drain tube. [No blockage visible - vent on firewall in engine bay is quite clean; however I haven't probed beyond the first 75mm of tubing]

I'm assuming that the second issue was the result of the condensor freezing up. Not sure why.

On the description I provided, the AC techician I spoke to seemed to think the issues were unrelated.

Just wondering if anyone else has experienced these issues and if so, what the remedies were.

Regards
