gurgle monster

[jonela]

I seem to have somthing living behind my glove box !
It gurgles and hisses and every now and then it spits out a mouth full of water on to the passenger matt.
Somtimes it hisses angreley as i accelorate and other times it dosn't make a sound.
What is it ?
Has any one els got one?
And how do you get rid of them?

Have you got air con ?

 

[jonela]

Yes , its a 2000 SE+ LWB

 

[clivvy]

ouch, sounds like your matrix is leaking......

 

[jonela]

Like i say it dosn't leak much about an egg cup full when it dose it and not every day
I travel 75 miles to work and back and it's only spat the water out three times in the last two weeks.

dont think so as I have checked them and they seem clear , the wether dosen't make a differance , it can rain for days and no leak then on a nice day like today, Splat!

Soak some of the liquid into some white kitchen roll, check the colour and give it a sniff.

Compare it to clear rain water, antifreeze etc.

Simples...

Heater matrix is behind the centre dash, the radio ets, it sits relatively low, the ac assy is right behind the glove box, :thumb2

There is no smell of coolant, Is there a drain for the AC's condensation,?

Yes there is and the pipe gets blocked with crud and leaks on floor . Had it on mine years ago . Just gave the pipe a good squeeze to clear it . Been ok ever since.
