Dripping water under the dashboard

[the lark]

Pardon my ignorance, I'm a newbie to cars. I would just like to ask if it is normal that water drips under the front passenger seat after a trip. I am suspecting it is due to the cooling system however, since I am newbie I would like to ask your opinion. Do I need to see a mechanic to have my aircon checked?

Ung tube lang yan ng aircon from the evaporator ata. Dapat nakatutok sa labas, hindi sa loob. Madali lang naman ayusin. Yan ung tube na nakadikit sa wall (when your facing the hood) sa area ng evaporator.

* typhoon, thanks for the reply. may effect ba yun sa performance ng car? baka dalhin ko na lang kay mang mario.pacleaning ko na rin medyo mainit na ang hangin e. last na check up nito ay nung 50k kms pa, now its 92 kms na.ganu ba kadalas dapat pacheck ang aircon?

[typhoon]

Wala naman effect sa performance. Baka bumaho lang interior mo hehe. At least once a year palinis ng aircon para no worries

My corolla has dripping but im sure its not coming from the aircon. As i wash my car or when it rains, front passenger floor gets wet but not that heavy. i saw where it comes from but could not really determine whether it comes from the windshield or other else. Can somebody help me out with this. I would really appreciate your help. Thanks!

By the way my car is a corolla GLi 97.

*carlos, it could also be coming from the weatherstrip of the car doors, or even from the gap in between the window, then thru the door panels.

*the lark, typhoon is probably right, just reach under the dash from the front passenger side and make sure that the hose is directed outside the car.

may effect ba yun sa performance ng car?

cant see how. diba sa aircon pambahay may tumutulo ring tubig. yun din yon

carlos, kindly check the windshield gasket. the leak most probably comes from the corners where the gasket is stressed & stretched considerably. the seal may already have been breached. Of course I way be wrong but you can also try tracing the source of the leak under the dash.

i saw it dripping from the inside under the dashboard but could not be specific where. i ran water on the windshield lang, then look inder the dashboard, ayun kita ko. but dont know if its the weather strip

Refer me na lang to a "GOOD AND REPUTABLE" shop who can do the job. I live in San Juan, and probably somewhere near my place sana.

easy lang yan. I think its time for you to clean you evaportor and change you freon. kpag matagal na nagiging algae na yun paligid ng evaporator at sa labasan ng tubig sa aircon at kpag clog na exit ng water sa aircon do-on sa carpet tutulo. remind me of my problem kaya ganun.

* carlos, there is a reputable aircon shop in bago bantay.actually there's a thread here about mang mario reyes. i'm planning to visit him this wednesday.lapit lang naman from san juan to bago bantay, sa likod lang ng sm north yun.

magaling daw at hindi taga kung sumingil.hanapin mo na lang yun thread about Mario Reyes.

[carlos]

the lark, thanks for refering me to mang mario. i've been there before about six or seven years ago and i can say is that it's really commendable job. However, my problems seems not to be the aircon dripping but rather water running through the windshield, either when it rains or just plain car wash. I tried looking at the door of my car and try to analyze it if it is coming from the weather strip but i think it's not. It's coming somewhere in front of the windshield.

ganun ba? then mang mario is not the answer to your problem

you probably need to visit an auto shop.meron dyan sa area mo, speedyfix nasa santolan daw, tapat ng concept one. pag galing greenhills turn left ka sa santolan nandyan na daw yan.although i haven't been there but i was referred by other tsikooters to that shop. i will be there probably tomorrow for a tune up. ride safe dude.

i haven't tried speedy fix yet. But are they more into mechanicals lang? Mine needs more of windshields shops or installer

i had the same problem before especially when its raining hard, water dripping passenger side, causing bad odor inside the car afterwards. Problem was the windshield rubber seal, had replaced it. Try evangelista if you have same problem like mine, P1200 inc labor forgot the shop name though.

Same experience i'm having now. Do they have to remove the entire windshield to do the job? How long does it take to finish it?

yes, they have this tool to remove the windshield, done in less than 30 mins.
