The main common reasons for the causes of broken air conditioning systems in vehicles are caused by either leaks or compressor issues. If your air is blowing cool but not cold then the problem could caused by a clogged filter or a cooling fan issue or radiator problems or it could be very simply that you need to recharge your AC. A mechanic would need to have a look at your car and see why the air conditioning unit is not working.
The line that draws the condesate from the evaporator is clogged with foreign matter. Goose it with what ever you have up to the evaporator and that should clear the line up. Just be gentle since you do not want to puncture the evaporator!
If you have some cooling, but not enough, then chances are that the system is low on freon. The only reason a system would need freon is because the freon leaked out. If the leak is not sealed before recharging with freon, the freon will eventually leak out again.
Leak repairs are expensive so if it's a small leak it may be more cost effective to recharge the system every two or three years. Freon recharging is not a do-it-yourself job. Only people certified to handle refrigerant (freon) are allowed to recharge an air conditioning system.
OR
1. Extremely dirty air filter restricting the airflow through the inside unit.
2. Extremely dirty (clogged) cooling coil restricting airflow
AND IF IT IS LEAKING
If you do not see ice build-up on the larger copper tubing (covered with a black, sponge insulation) when you run your system, then you probably have a clogged drain line. A clogged drain line is usually caused by algae build-up inside the drain line. And yes, there is something you can do to prevent this condition. Algae is a living plant and will grow in your drain line until it clogs the line. The air handler provides a cool, damp environment for development of molds and mildew and if left untreated these growths can spread into your ductwork.
If only moderate to light buildup is present then there are chemical disinfectants specifically designed for use in air handlers that will kill the existing mold and mildew and control new growth. These disinfectants are safe and very effective and are applied by simply spraying into the filter intake and by placing "Algae Strips" directly in the drain pan. If the coil has mold or mildew present then it also should be treated. Make sure that the face of the cooling or evaporator coil is clean so that air can pass through freely.
HOPE THIS HELPS :)
Is the issue there when using heat and air-con? If so, then check the blower motor and fan switch for fault.
Check any cabin air filter if fitted for clogging.
If only an issue with hot air flow, then check the heater matrix hasn't bunged up.
If only a cold air flow, then check the air conditioning car evaporator in the cabin for signs of clogging.
Clogging can be more of an issue in pet owner's cars as pet hair readily clogs up these two components in cars fitted with no interior air cleaner element/filter.
I don't think it's your air conditioning, most often times when you get water in the cabin on the floor boards it's a bad heater core. Do you smell like a sweet odor? If you do check your coolant level in the radiator and/or resivior, if it's below your minimum fill line that's gonna be your problem. Hopes it's helpful.
caused by water running out the drip line and not falling off the drip hose due to improper angle.Water will run back down the lower outside of the hose and into the cabin.
Fixed my T&C by putting a tight rubber O ring on the engine side of the drip line neat the tip. Water will hit the O ring and drip off properly.
Does it do this with the air condition on? Does your car have a sunroof? If you said yes to the first question then a drain line from the air condition is clogged and would need to get it unclogged. If your car has a sunroof then a line that drains any water that gets passed the seal is clogged and empties into your car. You might want to take it to a mechanic and not the dealership. They will charge you an outrages price to fix it.
I think you may have a clogged orifice tube (possible compressor failure starting) this can be checked with a system pressure test.
When an expansion valve or block fails, always replace the drier. Also flush the condenser and liquid lines.
