Hi all,

Just got the car and i came home couple hours ago. its muggy weather in england, shock and i went back to the car i turned on ignition and the aircon came on. Then I look later and seen this small patch of water.

I haven't got a MK3 but I am pretty sure thats nothing to be worried about and completely normal, i have see it on many cars before.

I am sure someone with a MK3 will confirm.

just went back out to the car and it’s dried. Thank god. Confirmed with same GTI MK7 position of tbe ac drain

Yep, A/C drain. Nothing to worry about.

Spot on pal. Guess she’s going for the res delete today. The car in question

Glad its nothing, things to keep an eye out for:
-PCV valve & connecting hose, PCV should be serviced every 60k km (37k miles)
-The diverter valve will break over time, recommended to upgrade to a GFB or something similar
-Check if DSG oil + filter has been serviced
-Keep up with your oil changes

Check the link for my build thread, I did a lot of work/preventative maintenance already, there are also how-to videos on my YT channel (link also in my signature)

I will take a look at the PVC

I’ve heard Cam magnets are good to do. Is that both or just 1?

DSG and front diff done and care came serviced

I’ll have a look at the YT cheers
