Where does the air conditioning water drain from the Tayron?
2 Answers
The air conditioning drain outlet and drain hole of the Tayron are located under the chassis, with variations in exact position depending on the model. Blocked car drain hole: The circulation of coolant will be significantly reduced, the radiator performance will deteriorate, and the temperature between the engine and radiator will rise significantly. This can also serve as an indicator to determine if the drain hole is blocked. Engine temperature rise: If the car's engine temperature suddenly rises significantly, it indicates that the car's drain hole is blocked. A blocked drain hole will cause poor performance in the cooling system, inevitably leading to excessively high engine temperature. Unpleasant musty smell: A blocked car sunroof drain hole can cause the interior panels to become damp. A damp interior will produce an unpleasant musty smell and foster bacterial growth.
I've been driving the Tayron for three years, and AC drainage is quite common. When parking with the AC on, there's always a puddle of water on the ground, which drains from small holes under the chassis, usually near the driver's seat or the inner side of the front wheels. During frequent summer use, condensation increases—this is normal and nothing to worry about. However, if the drain holes get clogged, water accumulates inside the car, leading to moldy smells, damp floors, or even electrical corrosion over time. During every maintenance check, I remind the mechanic to inspect and clean the holes using compressed air. I’ve also picked up a handy trick: after rain, gently poke the drain holes with a thin wire to prevent dust or leaf buildup. Keeping the drainage clear improves AC efficiency, keeps the car fresh, and saves a lot of hassle.
