Volks, Have seen posts on A/C condensate hose probs. My condensate hose just goes through the sheet metal and into the RH rear intake at the top. The tube is very short, only say 4 inches long, forcing the water to fall from the end of the tube some 4 feet to the bottom of the air intake chamber) Apparently it just drops the water down into the area at the bottom of the RH air intake (which is completely closed off from the engine compartment, and remains, I guess, from the old air cooled days) and somehow the water puddling in the bottom of this chamber finds it's way out around the air intake snorkel in the chamber and to the ground. I am considering adding some length of plastic tubing, cutting a hole in the bottom of the RH air intake chamber and giving the condensate a free run out of the vehicle, instead of allowing to slosh in the bottom of this chamber. Anyone know anything about this. I remember someone mentioning something about the factory system causing seam rust and I could understand this. Any feedback appreciated. Regards Mark B.
