Hi all,

Wondering if someone could please help me out - been a week now with the new AWD and haven't seen a drop of AC condensation on the garage floor after numerous 45 mile drives home. With the Toyota - as soon as I get out of the car I see a wet floor. Not so much with this guy - dry as a bone. Can someone please take a pic for me to locate where the AC condensate drains out of under the car? Another post mentioned underneath, behind the front passenger tire, but I can't make out any possible locations other than the attached picture. The other posts also are freaking me out a bit with the potential for moldy, wet carpets. Trying to get ahead of the curve here if possible. Help please? Thanks!!

I have no idea, wish I could help, but I have noticed that every time I get in the car when parked in the garage, the climate control comes on and then when I get out, there's always a puddle on the floor - It also heats up the garage like crazy

On another note: What are your quick thoughts on the AWD?

I don't know exactly where they are, but run the A/C full blast on a humid day. The condensate has to go somewhere. You should see a puddle under the car.

You may want to take it back to your dealer and have them check it out?

That's the key - a relatively long trip on a hot and humid day. Otherwise the A/C-coolant system is very efficient and you may not see much if any condensate.

5 or 10 minutes sitting in my garage makes a decent sized puddle, but then I suppose not everybody is blessed with our South Mississippi 90% humidity . . . .

Post and you shall receive? Finally saw SOME water under the car behind the passenger wheel .... Kinda weird the way it was distributed along that black plastic piece... But oh well. I guess better than nothing! Thanks all!

"Distributed" of course given vehicle movement and thereby relative wind underneath, and the very airflow-clean panels.

The drain hose goes through the passenger's footwell, by the center tunnel.

Photos made in a RHD car, there it sits on the driver's side (can be accidentally kicked by the driver):

ID4 Massive Waterleak?

I have an ID4 First Edition which I obtained as a demonstrator in late June (build date April 2021). I first noticed very wet carpet in the driver's foot-well late last week when I removed the protective mats to clean them. Tried to dry carpets out but wetness kept coming back. Also kept...

Glad I'm LHD and most often solo. I'll render a no-kicking warning to my wife when she's aboard.

Seems like such an odd oversight - are there any quick fixes to make the hose more "kickable"?
