Condensation Water Drain Hose, Removing And Installing: Installing

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.

Install in reverse order of removal. Note the following:

-- The condensation water drain hose can only be slid all the way onto the heater and A/C unit in one position.

The tab -arrow- on the connection must engage into the guide -2-.

-- Also secure the condensation water drain -3- to the heater and A/C unit connection -1- with a cable tie or a hose clamp.

NOTE:

The condensation water drain -3- must not sit loosely on the connection for the heater and A/C unit -1- (condensation water can escape with a loose fit).

-- Insert the condensation water drain hose -6- into the floor panel opening in the body (this illustration shows version "A") until it engages audibly.

NOTE:

The sealing lip must not sit loosely on the floor panel body opening.

The retaining tabs -1- (on the version -A-) or -4- (on the version -B-) must be engaged completely.

If the pretension is inadequate, seal the connection point between the body floor panel and the condensation water drain with silicone adhesive, for example.

NOTE:

Install the condensation water drain hose so that it is not twisted or crushed.

When installing the carpet, make sure it does not push up against the condensation water drain hose.

If the condensation water drain hose sits too loosely on the heater and A/C unit connection, secure it, for example, with a hose clamp or a cable tie so that it cannot slide off and fluid cannot escape. Cable tie and hose clamp.
