968PORSCHE

Where the hell is the condensate drain on a 968? I looked under the car with a flashlight for like 5 minutes and couldn't find it. I know it has to be above the Cat. or at least in that area. (yes I searched the forum and yes I suck at searching). If you can't tell me where it is perhaps you could suggest a good brand of swim goggles and wetsuit? I went up an on ramp with sandals on and had my feet drenched with ice water!

HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Not sure about 968s, but late 944s had it coming off the heater core box almost straight down thru the floor.

Passenger side?
Is it a tube or something else?

It should be 17 in this picture (if what we're thinking about is the same, and I hope it is)



It is behind the center console, radio, cubby, and all that crap.

COOL! looks like it is on the Drivers side and exits on the drivers side of the cat. I'll have to cleat it from under the car or else I'm really gonna have a flood.

Thanks a bunch.

Are you sure its not your battery? I had a sloshing sound for weeks and it ended up being the fluid in the battery sloshing around, and I could hear it when the radio was off.

Its dead center on the heater box bottom and torque tube tunnel. You might be able to reach it if you reach behind the heater box and feel right on top of the tunnel, between the heater box and firewall.

I assume I can reach this from under the car? I plan on turning down the compressed air to about 8 psi and clearing it from below, assuming I can reach it that way. Otherwise I'm gonna have a flood in the car!

I have an Optima (gell cell ) only way to fly, no acid corroding things up.

I cleaned my drains with weedeater string instead of compressed air. It was stiff enough to ream out the blockage, but flexible enough to follow the hose. I got it from the top. Some water spilled when I took the hose (17) off the plastic box (38), but not a flood. Easy to clean up with a paper towel and there was a lot of crud back there that came up with the water.

Once I pushed the string though I could see where it came out under the car, but I think it's way up in the tunnel so it's hard to see from below. Good luck.

Weedeater string worked good for the sunroof drains too.

I'd like to hear the outcome of trying to reach it from under the car. I'm experiencing the same thing and I think it may be easier for me to hit it from underneath.

Of course that's all speculation on my part as I haven't tried to reach it from up top but I'd rather not have to remove the center console.

I'm going to try to get a look at it tonight. I'll let you know.
