Ok i called up the local acura dealer to get my AC drain unclogged. 50 DOLLARS? To get a drain pipe unclogged? wtf is that? I think im gettin shafted here, what you guys think?

 

dealership is always high. Check around other shops to see what prices you can get, im not sure how much it usually cost

 

how do u know when its time to un clog the AC drain? When water stops dripping from under the car? or is there noises..?

 

It just started yesterday, whenever i'd turn a sharp corner, water would drip out from underneath glove box.

 

It's a minimum labor charge. I'm sure you can find somewhere else to do it for cheaper but not a whole lot cheaper.

 

Anyone know how to unclog it yourself?

 

to check for blockage, insert a piece of wire at the evporative housing condensation drain tube openings (lower right forward corner of the housing) see if that works

 

Check in the yellow pages for automotive air conditioning service, you should find something there. I dont know if you are going to find anything much cheaper than $50

 

i took the drain hose off and still my shit doesnt drain outside the car. i can only use my ac for like 1-2 hrs tops b4 it leaks into the car. i couldnt figure it out on my own.

 

It quiet easy to do. Jack up ur car and look for a rubber clear hose under ur car near the middle of the passenger side. That is how it is on my car 1st gen. CAREFULLY pull it out a bit and get a can of compressed air and spray into it. Now a couple things are going to happen here, 1) water will just come out, 2) lots of muddy water going to come out 3) Dirty nasty stuff going to come out 4) water going to be shooting all over the place. I recommend that you wear protective eye wear. Last thing I want is one of the CL members here to get something in their eye. Hope that helps a lot.
