Hello
Strange problem this one!
Had the front shocks changed under warranty 2 months ago. Noticed soon after that the waste water (condensate?) from the air con seemed to exit just under the drivers door instead of under the engine. Thought no more of it for a while, thought I'd mention it at next service. Today the car was totally dead, battery flat. Nice AA man came and said nothng wrong with battery or Alternator and no power drain from anywhere "but whats that water from under your door?" Closer inspection showed the floor pan inside the cabin (under the rubber mats) was totally drenched. Said AA man thinks during repairs the air con pipe has been trapped / kinked forcing the water to overflow into the cabin and not outside under the engine. End result electrical short drained the battery. Anyway nice AA man put car up on a jack, looked underneath and could not find said drain pipe from the Air con! Any way - before I take it back to Fiat - anyone know where it should exit the car?
Thanks
