Default C6 udders?

Do C6s have udders like the ones on the C5 that need to be cleaned out? Especially with all the fallen and falling leaves the C5 udders needed a cleaning out. Yes this is a serious post and not a j/k.

Never heard that called UDDERS
not sure it's the right term either, but GUTTERS would have made more sense.

I know exactly what the OP is referring to and he is not talking about the drainage gudders. If you had a C5 you may recall that clogged udders often caused water leakage into the passenger side footwell (and unfortunately the blower motor and fuse box). Some people cut the tips off to ensure they would drain. They were located in the engine compartment against the firewall and could get clogged with debris.

To the OP, I have not seen them on the C6 but haven't felt around in that location for them. I do know that the problem seems to have gone away with the C6 so I assume they either do not have them or have improved the design.

They are there, but you have to look closely. They need to be serviced, and don't let your wife, or girlfriend do it for you either.
