    Incoming moist air passes through the very cold evaporator of the air con causing the moisture to condense and cool - this happens if the a/c is on regardless of the heat setting. In say winter when you want warm air the cold air then passes trough the heat exchanger of the 'heater'.

    As Thesaltmustflow says it's a common misconception that (a/c is only useful in summer)
    I never actually said that as it was a new one for me but I'll take it if your giving me credit for it  :D

    My wife has been waiting over 2 hours for greenflag to attend - not very good is it
    She has a car full of food shopping too
    Should she risk driving home ?
    complaint to greenflag coming
    Seriously?

    It's not a problem. It's the aircon doing what it's meant to do. There is nothing wrong with the car.

    yes - she called out greenflag never seen so much water before

    What would you be complaining about?

    You know they have to prioritise calls right?

    I'm 99% certain it's the air-con but I'd hate to be wrong and something go 'pop' on the way home Hopefully that's all it will be and you can tell her the car was 'bleeding' in sympathy with you as the credit card was getting a battering  :smiley:

    it can cause quite a pool of water, enough to run down the drive at our house from both cars.
    They're maybe prioritising someone that really needs help and isn't just a bit ignorant (in the best possible way) about aircon.
  • Then do the taste test if all else fails.
  • The man has arrived and is doing a few tests .. shame greenflag failed to even call my wife back for 2 3/4 hours
