Checking condensate drain
Checking condensate drain
–  Check routing of condensate drain hose; it must not be twisted or crushed.
–  Remove condensate drain valve and condensate drain hose → Chapter.
   
–  In area of hole -E- check gap between noise insulation mat and floor panel (noise insulation mat must not make contact with installed condensate drain valve).
–  Check condensate drain valve -C-; it must not be gummed up with wax or underseal.
  Note
There is no flap at the condensate drain valve -C-. The flap function is assumed by a coil formed by the valve.
–  Check for contamination of condensate drain hose -B- (pay attention to oval cross-section of hose -D-) and clean if necessary.
–  Use a piece of wire, for example, to check for contamination of condensate drain of air conditioner unit -F- and clean if necessary.
t  In the event of moisture in the passenger compartment:
–  Check passenger compartment forced air extraction (via luggage compartment) → Chapter.
–  Check signal for recognition of wiper operation at operating and display unit, Climatronic control unit -J255- → Chapter.
–  Check dust and pollen filter for contamination and corresponding cover for correct installation → Chapter.
–  Check the various control motors and the corresponding levers. Pay particular attention to position of air flow flap control motor -V71- and air recirculation flap control motor -V113- as well as the relevant flaps.
–  Check measured value of evaporator outflow temperature sender -G263- → Chapter (Reading measured value block, display group “010”).
–  If the sender measured value is too low under the usage conditions described by the customer (colder than 0 °C for lengthy period at ambient temperature above 0 °C), pay attention to notes on checking cooling output → Chapter.
–  If the measured value of the evaporator outflow temperature sender -G263- is too high under the usage conditions described by the customer (greater than e.g. 10 °C although air conditioner is functioning properly), check the evaporator outflow temperature sender -G263- (incorrect measured value can cause evaporator to ice up).
