If your car is out of warranty, I cry for you. Mine happened when the car was 2 years old. Whole dash out job. And the smell of coolant lasted for about 6 months too. It's a vile smell too.

But if you can't find these ones, I would go with Envy's idea. Same thing happened to my old car!

ZAP No boost, no bottle, just my foot on the throttle! Lifetime Members 7,935 Member For: 21y 3m 1d Gender: Male Location: Sydney Posted 11/12/07 01:52 AM Share Posted 11/12/07 01:52 AM People are too quick to be negative in diagnosing problems.If the water is fresh, with no coolant, then the problem is the drain host.As F6BF mentioned it is a little hose at the side of the transmission tunnel. It sometimes gets blocked or melted.If the water smeels like coolant, the it is a major job.If the car is under warranty, make it Ford's problem Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/40500-strange-air-con-problem/#findComment-607130 Share on other sites More sharing options...
