I took out my a/c unit when i installed my engine and turbo. Well lately, every once and a while i will hear water sloshing around on the passenger side front. Where is the a/c drain line on the 92-95 civic hatches? My quess is its clogged and thats what im hearing. Water isnt leaking into the car that i can tell. Every once in a while ill hear water sloshing around.

Where are all the drains for water on the hatches?

 

Why would you assume that the AC has anything to do with fluid sloshing around? It's almost 100% air in your coolant system. Turn your heat on full blast, pull your radiator cap off and let the car run for twenty minutes. It'll burp out any air in the system in that time period.

 

I have seem numerous cars that made the same noise and the end result was the a/c drain line was clogged. When i removed the a/c i left the box under the dash and the line under the battery box in. I think the a/c drain line is clogged and thats what im hearing. I doubt its air in the coolant because the car heats up fine and has plenty of heat. I only hear the noise when i turn. Why would you think that air in the coolant would make a sloshing sound? Ive never heard of that before.

 

Theres a little box up underneath the glove box, Water goes through there, I know, because ones my box broke for some reason and water leaked all over my floor . Im not really sure how to take it off or anything, because my dad did it, but I know theres one there.

 

There are no leaks that i know of. I just hear water every once in a while.

 

I still need to know where the water drains are located on the hatchback.

 

TTT

 

How long has it been since you ran your AC? I'm guessing a while since you're in Maine. The likelyhood that you STILL have condensate in your airbox is vitually non existant. You're hearing something else. Any kind of condensate would have dried up by now. Especially since you've been driving the car and have had the heat on. Keep looking.

 

Well i took the a/c out before winter and didnt use it before that. I also dont have any leaks that i know of. I dont have any water in the passenger floor board or in the trunk and thats where the hatches usually leak at.

Its been below freezing most of this winter so the water should be frozen if its clogged in a drain tube i would think, unless the water is inside the car but like i said i dont see leaks anywhere. Ill gut the son of a bitch and find out where it is. The only other logical explanation is that like someone said that the coolant has air in it and thats what im hearing but my heat works great and doesnt overheat so i dunno what im hearing.

 

Remove the AC components from behind the dash, if that doesn't fix it just deal with it. I would assume it is your heater core from there. Nothing you can do about that except whack the heat... I did this, heat and AC both suck, LOL

 

heater core? Its not leaking anywhere. i just hear it.

Air in your system would make the car heat up very quickly and when the coolant went through the heater core (behind your dash) you would hear the air bubbles and coolant moving around. Just do what I said: it's ******* free and easy. If it doesn't work you can procede to your air conditioning theory, but I'm pretty sure the AC components have nothing to do with your issue.
