Hi, just put the first 1300K on my SLT and noticed that there was a small puddle under the car at the store. I would have said it was air conditioning condensation as that's what it looked like, except - My air isn't on, at least as far as I can tell.

I have the temp set at 22C, the outside air is at 14C. The fluid levels appear to be ok and it's not at all overheating. The "water" seems to be coming from the firewall side of the engine and may have been less than 1/2 a cup. I just saw a slight dripping coming over a cross-member..

Any thoughts?

Thanks

Francois

Hi Francois, i assume that you are speaking french... if not just tells me and i will translate.

Certains véhicules, même si tu n'as pas l'air climatisé a on, que le compresseur fonctionne toujours pour éliminer l'humidité.

Si tu dis que tu as pas de fluide qui manque, je ne peut voir que ca !

Three conditions will cause a/c to turn on regardless of season.

A: Any setting is used involving defog

That's the one... Thanks for the replies.

PS. Thanks for the French reply SuperMat, I am bilingual, but it was very thoughtful of you. Much appreciated. Merci
