A/C water dripping on exhausts pipe.?

Chan Chee Hoe · 07-07-2009, 06:03 AM

Hello everybody,good morning,i noticed there is a sound after stopping the engine,it is like water dripping on a very hot surface[like exhaust pipe],i wonder our A/C cooling coil drainage tube is it directly above the exhaust downpipe.?Thanks.

It's not A/C water draining.

It is the cats and engine cooling. The metal expands when heated and contracts when cooled.

Is like a ticking sound

That's a different sound than the sound of A/C condensation dripping onto hot pipes... which is normal

Oh, my bad.

On the G, it just pee's on the floor, no hot pipe in the way.

Every now and then the Z pees on itself.

Yea, true.

The Z is a toddler compared to the G.
