Air Conditioner Noise & Leak? - Toyota Yaris Forums

Steveh27 · 09-06-2012, 06:46 PM

So you think I have to detach the hose? If so, does it just pull out, twist out, pop off, unscrew or ??? Or what else should I do? I think this may have been the first leakage on the mat.

Thanks.

It just pulls off, but you can also just go up the hose with a large cable tie.

Does this hose drain the water coming in the vents below the windshield? My 2010 has fine mesh screening the debris from going in there.

Does it also drain the AC condensate?

I'll pull it off & check in a bit.

The hose only drains the condensate. The vents by the windshield drain to the wiper tray. The air entering the A/C system goes down through those holes, back up and then straight back through the firewall. That path keeps water from entering.

Thanks CTScott. I'm at the dealer right now. They're doing the oil change & will check to make sure the bottom of the hose drain is clear & will show me where that is.

The dealer said there were many spider webs under the car & that 1 one of them may have gotten in the drain & been the clog. They did clean it out from the bottom - no charge with the oil change.

That makes sense as I've had the cabin filter for 2 years to prevent stuff getting sucked into the airbox.

They said to wash off the bottom of the car frequently to keep the spiders down.

Interesting. I wouldn't have thought of little critters going in the out door.
