Hey has anyone had something like this before?

When the AC is on, and I corner sharply (right), I can hear the water hiting the blower fan and then leaking out ont o the passanger footwell. Similarly with cornering the other way it leaks through the feet vent area.

Im assuming its some kind of obstruction or restriction in a tube that leads to the outside where the condensation water should go. Anyone have something similar in their 4th generation?

i dunno about it hitting the fan at sharp corner, but how can u hear it? u must have really gd ears. But all i know is that the water suppose leak out, usually under the car.

your evaporator drain pipe is blocked or has come off.

look under the pasangers footwell, you will see a drain tuve coming from the evaporator box tot he firewall. make sure its on and if it is undo it and make sure its not bloked.

The same happened to me. There was a block in the Ac line and i had water leaking throughout my car.

to unblock it u should leave the black snorkle on. use a wire from under the car (or u can reach down under ur battery) and unblock it! if there r 2 many bends u might have to take the snokle off! u could have over a litre of water blocked up so b careful or u will end up with soggy carpet for a week!

yeah exact same thing in my LS, go around corners and the water would hit the blower and spray out on my feet.. was just the rubber drain tube kinked
