water in passenger foot well

Post by rustyvolvo »

We have a 2000 V40 that recently, when the air conditioning (AC) is turned on, a puddle of water forms in the passenger foot well. It seems some drain must be clogged - but where should I look?

Thanks in advance.

I'd start with a Haynes S40/V40 manual, or simply by looking under the front of the vehicle. A drain will always have a utilitarain look to it, just hanging somewhere.

I've had good luck clearning clogged rain drain lines with canned air. Use the straw that comes with the cans. Put straw in drain. Plug the rest of the opening with your finger, so the pressure goes 100% into the drain, and give it a good blast.
