I wonder if someone can help me. I had my air con internal radiator replaced June 2014 due to a leak. The air con works in so far as its compressing and produces cold air. However when I did a long journey this Summer both foot wells were soaked and the car was steaming up when I used the hot air ac setting in the car. I checked the drain pipe that drains to underneath the car and it's working. I took the plastic panels off the side of the central console and, when I turn the ac on hot there is a continuous leak of fluid from above. Any ideas what this might be and how easy is it to take off the rest of the fascia from the central console? Any help would be appreciated - not keen to shell out another £400 for ac repairs!

Are you sure the drain pipe is clear as this is a common issue that will cause your symptoms?

Thanks for the reply.Its draining on the drivers side when I look underneath the car. I've blown through it with a foot pump to try clear any partial blockage as I haven't got a compressor. Do you know if there is a drain on both sides as I can only see this one draining ?

No expert but I think there is only one drain. Sounds like it could be a joint or pipe leaking, I would take it back. Sorry not much use!

Thanks for your help. I'm going to look at the drain again and check the central console pipe connections. I'll post if I find anything. Fingers crossed !

I've looked into it a bit more and think it might be the heating matrix that is leaking unfortunately. Does anybody have an idea of price for this to be replaced ?
