    Hi guys, theres a small problem where water is gushing out onto the passenger side footwell when i turn a sharp corner after running the airconditioner for a while.

    It seems that maybe the drain is blocked or missing, is this a common problem? can somebody please direct me to where i should be looking to find where this water is coming from, and how to get it out of the car instead of on my feet :)

    thanks!

    Your suspicions maybe correct. Pull the cover off the ECU in the passenger footwell as well as the long trim cover under the glove box. You will see a black rubber hose coming out of the rear of the A/C condenser that goes through a metal bracket and then protrudes through the fire wall. Most likely this hose has either come off the back of the A/C condenser box or it is blocked.
