damp patch under car

[p1tse]

after going over a speed bump quickly and thought i broke the plastic under trays, i was lucky to find they were ok.

however i saw a few drips and checking again after a drive, there's a damp patch in the middle of the car nearer to the back of the engine area.

is there a condensor or something?
should i be worried.

my other car peugeot 306 always dripped after having the air con on.
the climate control is set on auto.

it's the first time i;ve looked underneath so should i be worried?

nothing to worry about it is the air con

ok thanks.

Not 100% sure it is the air con, I would expect the condensor to drip in hot weather after use due to it working hard, but not this time of year?

best to get the drip tray off an take a look. Or if under warranty $tealer it.

it will drip in winter also as it de-humidifies.

why not turn the climate control off for a while and then check for peace of mind?

 

[p1tse]

good plan, i'll try and turn off the climate control while driving home after work and see how it goes.

so if it turns off, should i assume after parking up and checking underneath no dripping?

press the snow flake button on the climate control, (so the snow flake symbol is NOT showing on the display). this will turn off the air con part of the climate control.

you can still use fans etc...

just check as before. this wet patch you have, was this on the floor or on the tray?

if its floor you will need to leave car running, if its onthe tray check as before after a drive.

Air con. Just worry when you have damp patches inside the car like mine.
