A/C guys...

My truck started pissing water today. Looked like the A/C system. Water would be coming from the condenser, yeah?
IIRC from my auto class, it's kinda a bitch to replace right?

 

[Kiefer316]

Yup they are a beech to replace. Never really took one off on anything other then an xj though. That's all I can help with

water pissing from the passenger side near the fire wall?

A/C condensation dripping is normal - as long as it drains outside.
You just have to worry about the leak if it's draining inside on the passenger's carpet.

BTW, condensation mainly happens on the evaporator, not the condenser.

Do you mean pissing while it was running or dripping once it was turned off?

If you are running your a/c and you shut off the vehicle, it is normal for moisture to drip off of the a/c system. This is the moisture that is removed from the air during the cooling process.

Yup, right there.

Didn't notice any inside.
Good info... thanks :thumbup: I was gone for a lot of the A/C stuff when we went over it in the class I took.

Pissing after I turned it off. I know its normal to an extent, but when I say pissing I mean dripping enough to where it was almost a solid stream for a good 15 min or so.

It sounds normal, especially with so much humidity in the air lately. I will have a large (12inch diameter) wet spot on the garage floor after running my a/c on a day like yesterday.

Awesome

A large puddle could indicate evaporator icing, caused by the system failing to cycle- just staying on all the time. You'd notice the outlet temperature rising as the evaporator turned to an ice ball, though.

It blows freezing cold all the time

 

[JJacobs]

Sounds normal then.

Great. Thanks :thumbup:
