Leaking AC

**K.I.L.L.** · July 22nd, 2015 10:33 PM

My Pajero CK has a leaking AC. The area under the glove compartment is now always wet because of this and when I turn, I can hear a spraying sound from the glove compartment area. What could be the problem and where can I take it to in the Banawe area?

Kill, you can try Denso on Quezon Ave (near EDSA). When was the last time you had your aircon cleaned?

I actually can't remember when this vehicle's AC was serviced as it's not often used. Do you think it just needs cleaning? It's pretty cold.

Try to check the drain hose, it may just be clogged. Simply poke it with a stick to check if it is.

Try using something flexible and least likely to poke a hole or damage the evaporator. A thick nylon fishing line or weed trimmer string will do.

How do you find the drain hose?

It's usually on the firewall on the passenger side.

This is side of the firewall in the engine bay right?

That's correct

Yep. The drain hose is connected to the evaporator behind the glove compartment, passes through a grommet in the firewall, and ends a few inches after that. It's usually the only hose in the engine compartment that's not connected to anything else. If you find more then you've got other problems
