Title: I forgot to clean out....
Post by: omegod on 12 December 2011, 15:58:48
....the pass side scuttle drain. Going up a nice incline today and the pass footwell did a marvellous Niagra falls impression, pulled over and it was fulll to near enough to the brim with some frazzling noises coming from somewhere. All drained now!

Lesson learned!

It's on the list of things to do on mine when I actually get some free time in daylight. The frazzling doesn't sound good though!

Might have been the Pollen filter gasping for air.  ;D ;D

Isn't the frazzling the fan control pack being immersed in water? I could be wrong about that, it's a vague recollection :)

Everyone, clear your drains now!  All the leaves from Autumn will block it, and the rain and snow will fill it.

If it fills up, it washes the fan bearings, knackers speed controller on climate cars (normally fails a few weeks later), and ruins the pollen filter.

It takes 2 mins max.

The passenger one is by far the worst. I took mine out completely as there was so much hardened crap stuck in it. Bit of a faff to get back in mind ;D
