Mondeo Mk3 aircon dripping badly

[LincsFordFan]

Hi folks,

During the summer I noticed that on warm days there was lots of water coming out from under the car.  Now I must say that I mostly had the aircon on the very coldest setting and it is very efficient blasting ice cold air into the saloon.

Checking the internet I see many comments that dripping from a/c is quite normal but mine was more than just a drip - after just 5 minutes there is a puddle on the road!  It was my wife that first noticed it's on the passenger side.  I'd never seen it that bad before - so much so that I thought it maybe was coming from the cooling system but no, the water was cold and didn't smell of coolant.

Just wondering if anyone else had this problem?  Should I get it checked by a specialist aircon garage?  My normal garage dismissed it as "normal" but unfortunately (as usual) it wasn't dripping so badly the day I took it in as the weather was cooler!

Any comments and suggestions would be much appreciated.

Totally normal.
The amount of condensate will vary depending on the humidity levels day to day.
Imagine a cold beer can straight from a fridge on a warm day.

Thanks Clive - that's reassuring.  It's just that I never saw any other cars producing so much.  Perhaps 'cos I have my a/c on extra cold!  One thing's for sure - it still works really well for a 14 year old car! 😊

Cheers.

Tbh I'd be more concerned if there was little or no condensation.
