leaking a/c

See these threads for a complete discussion of this problem and various fixes from expensive (difficult) to free (easy). Before going the expensive dealer route, try the easy free fix procedure (close all the vents, fan on high) and hope that it works. There's also a post somewhere about making a DIY snake out of a wire hanger to insert into the duckbill to clear it. Tearing out the dash or tranny to get to the drain line aren't the only ways to fix it.

I haven't had the problem, but for the last few years I do the easy, free fix procedure every 2 or 3 weeks just to keep the drain line clear.
Hope this helps,
Stuart

>> is it only convertibles that have this problem?
Nope - its been reported for conv and coupes, XK and XKR. The AC system appears to be the same for all.
I took a look at my collection of TSBs or 'Service Actions' on this for you - nothing.
The Workshop Manual has nothing useful - I found this:
>>
Most of the moisture in the air passing through the evaporator condenses into water, which drains out of the vehicle by passing through a drain tube to the underside of the vehicle.
<<
That was it - no diagrams, and only procedures for removing the entire unit.
I think you'll find the most useful info on this site.....

leaking a/c
Got mine fixed yesterday in Jacksonville, FL......$1,600. Had to replace the a/c blower motor as it was damaged by the water.
They removed the dash...said it was the only way to properly correct the problem...asked about dropping transmission and they said they would not touch it using that method...would have to get another dealer....so, it's done and I hope never again.
