Audi TT problems Continued

[Gruff500]

Hey everyone,

Well so much for Deutsche Engineering - have just had my TT back after water pump replacement and new Dash, these seem to have been the cause of the temp gauge creeping past 90 degrees.

All seemed well when I picked the car up on saturday, for me only to find a collecting pool of water under the car!! It was dripping down from behind the bulkhead. Following AA call out the chap told me that my climate control overflow pipe (?) was pushing out the water which may have been the gas water for the system? I mentioned the water pump and he told me they would have to disconnect part of the climate control system to replace this so they are no doubt connected!

Anyone have any experience of this? Am awaiting call back from the garage as we speak...

Thansk!

Most aircon cars have overflow pipes which expel condensation just after the bulkhead. Did you take note of the liquid. Coolant is normally blue or orange/pink.

Have now spoken with Audi and it is just clear liquid that is coming from the condensation overflow pipe. They told me that was normal and not to worry but there does seem to be a small puddle every time I use it - is that normal? I know we have had warm weather but I don't think it produced that much before? Have checked the water levels which are normal.

Many Thanks for any feedback!

Most aircons will drip condensation after use - depends more on the humidity outside than the actual temperature. As long as it is just water (i.e. no sweet smell or colour) then nothing to worry about.

Thanks Adrian, it is just water so that seems all ok. Prob just been a little oversensitive over raft of problems I have had recently!
