MK7 GTI water leak under car

[rrmave]

Hi,

I have a MK7 GTI. I have noticed water dripping from under the car after I return from a drive. It doesn't seem like a leak and it is definitely not oil or fuel. Is it just the excess water from the AC?

Thanks

It's the drain from tbe A/C drier. It takes the moisture out of the cabin air, condenses and drains onto the ground. The puddle under the car is more noticeable on hot sunny days.

Nothing to worry about

Lick the liquid if you fancy, just to be sure.

Sounds like the AC but double check the water pump housing isn't leaking as I think there's been a few cases.

They all do that sir.
