Where are the drainage holes located on the Golf 6?

Golf 6 drainage holes are located at the bottom of the condenser in the cabin. Below is a detailed introduction to the car's air conditioning drainage holes: 1. Function: When the air conditioning is in use, the evaporator continuously absorbs moisture from the surrounding air during the heat exchange process, which condenses into water and is discharged through the air conditioning drainage hole. This is why there is often a puddle of water under the car after the air conditioning has been running for a while. 2. Causes of blockage: During the cooling process, the car's air conditioning produces condensate, and the condensate pipe is located under the chassis. During the rainy season, passing through mud and standing water can also cause the drainage holes to become blocked. The accumulated water may then flow back into the car, leading to water accumulation on the floor.
I've been driving a Golf 6 for years and know the drainage hole locations like the back of my hand. There are several key spots: The sunroof has four drainage holes hidden at each corner - front left, front right, rear left, and rear right - where rainwater drains out. Small drainage holes also exist along the bottom edges of doors, right at the sill area, to prevent water accumulation in door gaps. There might also be drainage channels under the hood and along trunk edges. If these holes get clogged with leaves or mud, water can't drain properly, leading to interior leaks, foul odors, or even body rust. During regular car washes, I always check them and gently clean with a soft brush or blower. I recommend everyone performs periodic maintenance, otherwise repairs could get costly.
