    I have an 1998 A8 quattro 4.2lt and the pipe that lets the water the aircondition produces drip on the street is clogged. So, water keeps dripping on the driver's foot on every right turn. How easy is it to reach the pipe and unclog it. The car has gone to the repair store 3 times. They remove the water but it seems that they don't unclog the pipe, so the problem reappears after 3-4 months.

    The problem is 4 drainage holes that block up 2 are just inside the front wheel arch,s and are easy to clear but the other 2 are the ones that cause the problem and are located under the fresh air intake and are practically uneccessable the easiest way is to clear them is get a bit of wire and push it under from the left hand side as you look at the car (first remove the cover around the brake resevoir)
