Default Excessive water dripping

Hi C5 owners,

Do you get that much water dripping after running your C5Z06 with AC on?

Thanks in advance!

Depends entirely on where I am and the weather. Living in central FL I mostly see a considerable amount of water. Have stopped more than once after backing out of a parking spot to make sure the trail was just condensation.

thanks,
If it's AC condensate it will be pure water. If it's coolant, it will be very obvious that there is coolant in it..

Looks normal to me. It will vary depending on AC run time, outdoor temperature and humidity. I would only worry if it does not drip.
