Checking Drainage

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2002 Volvo C70, 2001 Volvo C70, 2000 Volvo C70, 1999 Volvo C70, and 1998 Volvo C70. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

HINT: If condensate and moisture cannot be drained out of the climate control unit it can cause misting on the interior glass of the car and possibly cause an odor in the passenger compartment. 

Check the drainage hose is correctly installed, is intact and is not blocked. The hose is installed in front of the center console under the climate control system.

To access the hose, bend floor carpet down and remove the carpet support plate.

Remedy as necessary.
