Post subject: Wet floor in my 2002 Jetta GLS
Archived from groups: rec>autos>makers>vw>watercooled (more info?)
I noticed the other day that the floor (mostly on the passenger side)
in my 2002 Jetta was VERY wet. (I'm confident that it is not from an
outside leak as the car is in excellent condition) I've dealt with a
bad
heater core in the past (1985 Golf) and this is different. I don't
smell the sweet coolant like before and the windows aren't fogging up.
So I asked around my office the other day and many thought it might
just be a clogged air conditioning line.
So out I went to unclog this line that so many were sure would be right
in front of my noise as I opened the hood. To my discouragement, I
cannot find anything that looks like a drainage line.
Is there anyone who can direct me to where I can find this air
conditioning line and maybe even some other ideas to what else might
be causing the floors to be wet.
Many thanks for any help for this "do-it-yourself" single mom!

Do you have a sunroof? Might be a clogged sunroof drain.

Unless you are still using your AC I would look elsewhere. Could be the
sunroof drains or the cowl drains plugged up.

Don't bet on that.

It could be a clogged A/C drain.

I am not sure where it is in your car, but as I recall on my 2002 NB it
is only accessible though the engine compartment on the passenger side and
requires removing some stuff hiding it. Maybe someone knows a better way,
and if they do I will be watching for the answer.

Any idea where these plugged drains would be located so I can check
them? Without a repair manual to direct me to them, I'm at a loss.

Sunroof drains are at the 4 corners of the sunroof, the front drains come out at the doors (open the door and you'll see a rubber
drain between the hinges ... squeeze the drain to open the end) and the rear drains come out through the floor of the trunk near the
sides of the vehicle. Suggested cleaning procedure is to use a very flexible object to snake through the tubes (perhaps an
electrician's fiberglass wire snake or a piece of plastic tubing). I just use compressed air and blow them out.

It usually happens on the passenger side. The rubber plugs slightly release
water when the doors open and close. So, if no one opens the passenger side
after a long period of rain, it tends to accumulate. Clogged drains also
cause this over time.
Don't you wish the freaking dealership told you these things when you bought
the car?
Supposedly the 20k, 30k, and 40k services should take care of this if you
request the service instead of the oil change.
