A lot of cars leak water when the a/c has been on awhile...... But inside the car sounds a little weird..... Never seen it happen but I hope you find and answer.....

Welcome to the forums aswell..

yeah as far as i know they leak water from the a/c hose by where you charge it but i don't know about the inside.but thanks anyways.

It might have something to do with your filter and fans underneath the passengers side dashboard.... I suggest taking a look.... Maybe a badly connected hose or what not...

 

[GermanMk3]

oh i didn't know there was hoses under the driver side dash. but let me take a look and i'll let you know wat i see. but thanks for the help.

not drivers side.... passengers side.... there is like an air filter where the heat or a/c comes out...... might be leaking out from up there somewheres im not sure.....

hey untitled you seem to know a little something about vw's.lol i have a question. Where do you recomend i get my mk3 some coilover sleeves? I just want some simple coilover sleeves that will lower my car but not have to cut or shrink my springs.i just want something ajustable that lowers my car.

To tell you the truth... most of it is all personal prefferences..... eibech makes a good set.... but it also depends on how much it's going to be slammed to the ground and how you want it to ride..... check http://thepartsbin.com...... they have some good aftermarket parts for not too pricey and free shipping with a purchase of over 50.00.........

Good luck mate...

I got your fix...

Hey - Same thing happened to me. Open the hood and look at the back of the engine on the firewall in front of where the passenger sits. There is a silver flexible heat sheild and some small access holes A little below halfway down, there should be a fairly large acces point. Lift it and look for a black rubber flap. It is stuck shut and allowing the condensation to build up and leak into the passenger side. Pull it out and watch the water gush out. If you cannot access the plug that wat, you can lift the flexible heat shield up and out of the way and do the same thing. Be carefull with the heat shield so that you do not damage it.

Good luck![woo]

i love my Eibach Sportline springs. they make the car sit low and you dont have the bouncie ride that coilovers normally give ya. i'm also a fan of Neuspeed springs.

Hey SenseiHungLo, I noticed your badge less grill from you icon pic. I have the same color Jetta as yours but can only find black or white badge less grills. Did you buy one and paint the bottom part green or did u find one that is two pieces and paint the bottom? Thanks a bunch!
