[alfa] re: AC leaking water inside the MIlano

[Joe Elliott <jee@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Clogged condensation drains that leak on your feet are pretty common.

The first time I charged the aircon in my GTV-6, I expected this to 
occur, because there had been a substantial mouse nest in my HVAC box 
when I bought the car, which I removed, but didn't bother with the 
drains because I thought I'd never use repair the AC.  After five air 
conditioned hours on the road, it had yet to leak on me, which I 
thought was interesting, but I wasn't going to complain.  Upon 
reaching my destination, I turned left into a driveway faster than I 
should have and bottomed out the car.  Which is when I saw a half 
gallon or so of water come out of the vents and flood the passenger 
footwell.  Some of that water obviously got in the blower and was 
sprayed in my face.  And thus I learned that there really is no 
avoiding cleaning the condensation drains in an old Alfa.
