Gentlemen,

Do you know where exactly can we find the A/C drain tube on a 2006 coupe? It is generally illustrated in FSM but not to the level of details that would help me find it if I have 20 minutes worth of hydraulic lift time (friend let me borrow it on a slow shift in his garage).
Wanted to apply the A/C cleaning product and according to the manual, thin tube goes into the evaporator drain.

Photos more than welcome!

I think its recessed in the chassis... I too tried finding the hose to clean the evaporator so I left the a/c on while the car was on the lift. I began to see water dripping form a hole in the chassis on the passenger side of the vehicle, right behind the lower control arm. Hopefully this helped at all.

I recall this coming up before, and I think the Courtesy Parts diagram shows where it is.



It's #92590 at the bottom.

Thanks - do I need to remove the fender or any other element to get to it based on your interpretation of the diagram? My first guess is I would start looking between the right fender and firewall...

Did you give up? Leaving the AC on was my fallback option, but if you couldn't get to it ...well

I'm thinking it comes out just in front of the passenger footwell next to the transmission tunnel. There's no reason to run if further over toward the side of the car.

Nope I could not get to it... either my car didnt have it attached for some unknown reason or it's just recessed in the chassis.

my z had a clog drain about a year ago. it flooded my passenger foot well. the drain plug is underneath the carpet on the passenger side.

its not hard to get to, i think you got to remove one or two parts. then pull up the carpet along with the insulation and it should be right there. just use a little bit of force when removing the tube

sorry to mention that it is in the left corner of the passenger side. of course my car is left hand drive so it might be different. cant tell what country youre from so im just throwing that out there

Kevin - so you're positive I couldn't get to the other end of the hose from under the car without touching the interior?

The drain tube obviously has to go through the floor somewhere on the passenger side. Otherwise you'd have the condensation soaking the carpet whenever it's running.

If the line is clogged, the condensation overflows the heater box, and runs down onto the carpet on the side of the transmission tunnel, then to the floor.

OK, here's where it is on my '08 coupe. It's further out than I thought it would be. The camera is just behind the right front tire, and it's pointing toward the left front of the car.
