View Full Version : Aircon Condensation on the Drive?

Do these cars have a habit of dripping water from condensation onto the ground?

I've had some cars that do - some cars that don't.

In all the time I've had this one I've never noticed it - including going through the hot spell we had a while back. Yet today I have, literally, a fair old puddle on the drive after pulling in.

It looks like it's actually dripping down from more the passenger side and almost halfway to the back of the car - so not directly from the engine bay, but I suspect the drop is just where it's leaving the undercovers not where the actual source is.

Clear, tasteless liquid (so..water I'm hoping) and fluid levels in the car look otherwise ok.

Condensation? leak? something more sinister?

Under warranty so not a real issue but I'd like to know it's not going to cause a problem.

totally normal, just the cooling of the pipes.

both my audi's do this on hot days if the car is standing running for ~30sec's or more.

Mine was doing it so I asked the dealer, who confirmed it's normal. So you tasted it?? You're brave :)

Thanks both - I'd hoped it was that.

Yep - only way to make sure it definitely wasn't something nasty leaking :)

A tasty treat..
