Air Conditioner Noise & Leak?

[niktracey]

We have a 2008 Yaris and were having the same issues as have been described, noise during a left turn, leakage onto the carpet and mat. My husband pulled back the carpet and found the hose but until he inserted a wire to clear it out, nothing would drain. After the wire pulled out debris, we drained about a gallon of water. So far, so good. The noise stopped immediately as did the leaking. We just have a wet, stinky carpet to deal with at this point. Thanks to this forum, and the users, for the help!!

Just make sure you install a cabin air filter (in the slot behind the passenger glove box) to prevent it from recurring.

South African Yaris T3 owner here. For me though, the difference is that water is not leaking in through the grommet, but from somewhere up behind the upper passenger glovebox. I've tried having a friend run the hose pipe over the windscreen, but that doesn't cause water to come through, and I checked that the water is being funnelled out to the underside of the car, which it is. I peeled back the carpeting and found the gromet which was still in place while this was happening.

BUT, just make certain I'm getting things right... I have a right-hand drive vehicle. My passenger well is on the left side, and the grommet I examined was also on the left side of the well, i.e. the outer side? I couldn't see it very well, and it felt more like electric cable going through than piping... I think I might have the wrong side of the well...
