South Africa 2008 Freelander 2 TD4 S Manual Indus Silver
A/c. Problem

Hi guys, I know this is probably in the wrong forum, but I don't seem to find a more suitable Freelander Forum.

I have a problem with my air conditioning unit in my 2008 Land Rover Freelander, in the sense that the vents are emitting a white mist when used for extended periods of time.

I have read elsewhere on the forum that this seems to be a common problem on the landrovers, and is apparently a problem that can be solved by draining the air conditioning drain lines.

My only problem is in finding the source of the drain lines and, as I've looked all over the inside and under the vehicle but am unable to find them.

The carpets on the inside also seem to be wet constantly. I am unable to limit the wet carpets to a specific side of the vehicle, as they both seem rather wet. I would however say that the driver's side is more wet.

Can someone please help me to locate these drain lines so that I can drain them and maybe see if this will fix the problem?

Thanks
Johann

Thank you guys.

Will check tomorrow morning and let you know.

Hopefully this is the only problem. Should this drain pipe need to be cleaned, any suggestions?

Also, is this what is responsible for the white mist coming in through the vents?

Wow Wizking !!! Thanks a lot. You really know this site quite well. I suppose that explains your forum name to a certain extent?
