Pollen Filter, that's the word much better than heater air filter :doh. For the life of me could not remember the name :doh

Thank you :thumbs

If it's water that tastes sweet its Coolant !

Thank you :thumbs

Going back a few post replies if the wet fluid is sweet its coolant you would also have noticed a drop in the header tank level and the yellow coolant light would have illuminated eventually when down to minimum.

Rain water from sunroof drain or a straight water leak caused by rain ingress would not have a sweet taste to it.

If you have steaming up windows when the engine is warm I would suspect any early indication of Matrix Failure. The other thought is that it's air conditioning condensate due to either problems with air con if you have it or a water logged pollen filter.

P.S. Strangely enough my Jeep does not have a Pollen Filter it was a factory extra even on my Ltd Edition model that has aircon, sat nav, folding mirrors, heated seats etc as standard !!

For my money it will be the pollen filter wet and clogged, this will be due to the scuttle panel access plate for the wiper motor easy fix, Rick

Good news, was the filter wet or just mucky?

 

[Annette]

It was damp and mucky

I wouldn't be surprised if you have a leak from the inspection panel above the heater.

Yes. Get the panel off, cleaned up and resealed. :thumb2

Are there abs wiring/plugs under the drivers seat? I've had problems in the past because of 2 different size drivers and the need to move the seat forwards and backwards, disturbing the wiring.

I tried to swap the sensor on mine and wish i never bothered, it all broke off and had to be drilled out with care. You might as well get a 2nd hand hub with a working sensor still in it and do the wheel bearing and ball joints whilst you're in the area.
