Water between front tyres...

[macafella]

Hello Forum.

I am a new Boxster owner and I dont know a lot about the car.

I recently saw some water between the front wheels of the car.

I was told this was very normal and condensation water from the AC.

Today I went for a drive for only 20 minutes and when I came back I noticed it spilled a lot

of water between the front tyres. It is not just a few drips but a mini lake in size 15 cm diameter

and it keeps dripping some time after the car is turned off.

Is this normal ??

If it is clear - then it is likely water from the AC. If it greenish/yellow and smells sweet then it is coolant.

Yes, this seems normal (as long as it is really just water). I experienced this in both the Boxster we previously had, and our 911, but only where we used to live where it was much more humid. Here in central/northern California, we don't have near as much now.

Loren's right....so long as it's clear water that's dripping from the condenser, it's a good thing. How much drips will depend on how well your A/C works (more equals better) and how humid it is outside.

The problems start if the drain tube ever gets plugged, which causes water to puddle inside the car! :)
