>> my drain nipple is hard plastic through the firewall
The hard plastic nipple needs a short piece of rubber hose to extend its length. Without the short extension hose the condensate will drip inside the car.

 

I see ok I’m going to look at the case and possibly remove and fix maybe not😖

 

I don't think you need to remove the case. The hose is only an inch long. The hose and the associated hose clamp are removed from the engine bay.

 

Still hoping you'll post the AC temperature......

 

Nate-
I still can't see your posts here but I did check the A/C temp at the center vent on my Tracker this morning. The outside temperature was 82°F.

The vent temp was 41°F in less than one mile of driving.


I did see it flash 39° for a second. Keep in mind the temps will be lower when the car is moving and outside air is forced over the condenser coil.

 

THANK YOU SIR ! .

Now I know it can do better .

I'm STILL cleaning and repairing the interior, I spent a few more hours at it this morning, it was overcast so I could work outside .

I don't ken "I can't see your posts" because you reply to them........

I'm off to read your PM .

 

SKY: I have felt the nipple on the firewall as I said it’s hard plastic and has no wiggle or movement. It doesn’t look like you’re photo! So I’m not seeing A easy fix

 

Ditto on the thanks for your contribution to this forum it’s priceless!!!

 

Yes but ;

The important question is : does it have the short bit of thin wall drain hose ? .

I got a surprise when I reached down to examine the condensate drain this morning.


My condensate drain has a "hose clamp." I assumed it was clamping a short rubber hose to the condensate nipple. That turns out not to be true. The "hose clamp" and the diverter are one piece. The "rubber hose" I thought I was looking at turns out to be the hard plastic nipple from the condensate pan. I'm assuming you don't have the metal diverter anymore.
