What is cleaning the evaporator drain tube all about?

The evaporator drain tube allows your air conditioning system to dispose of the condensation created by the air conditioning unit’s evaporator coil. You may have noticed that a home air conditioning system sometimes drips water. That happens in your car as well, but the evaporator drain tube drains it from the system and out of the vehicle. When the drain tube needs cleaning it can fail to do its job.

Keep in mind:

  • When the evaporator drain tube is cleaned it should also be checked to see if it should be replaced.
  • If the debris accumulation in the evaporator drain tube has caused molding or algae growth, then the rest of the system should be inspected for cleanliness.

How it's done:

  • Climb under the car
  • Find the evaporator drain tube
  • Take a hanger and run it in and out of the tube

Our recommendation:

The air conditioning system is a closed system, and is not inspected during routine maintenance. Even though the evaporator drain tube is easy for a mechanic to access and clean, it usually won’t be inspected unless a problem is reported. If you notice any leaking in the cabin of your vehicle, schedule an inspection immediately.

What is a common symptom indicating you need to clean the evaporator drain tube?

  • Water leaking inside the car

How important is this service?

As your vehicle’s air conditioning system operates, the evaporator coil creates condensation. This condensation needs a way to escape the air conditioning system and the car. The evaporator drain tube is attached to the air conditioning unit, and drains all of this condensation away so that no liquid remains in the system. When the evaporator drain tube gets dirty it can develop mold or algae growth that can plug the tube entirely. When that happens, the air conditioning will have no way to excrete its condensation, and water will likely seep into the cabin of your vehicle.

Audi A4 Quattro L4-2.0L Turbo - Car Battery Replacement - Maywood, New Jersey
When he arrived I asked him if he had the scan tool to register/code the battery. He told me no scan tool was necessary I immediately called customer service they advised me I would need to make another appointment with a mechanic that had the proper scan tool. I gave the phone to the mechanic he and customer service agreed he would complete the install and try to code with a scan tool he had not Audi specific. When completed the alarm would not shut off eventually he fixed that and said he manually coded 1 key and said he couldn't encode the other, now the convertible top dose not work, traction control light on as well the top these were not an issue before the new battery was installed. When I got the estimate the details explained that some batteries of German auto makers need them to be coded, I have installed dozens of batteries in my life time, I chose to have Your Mechanic do the battery installation because I dint have the proper scan tool and.

Audi A4 Quattro V6-2.8L - Car is not starting - Fort Myers, Florida
Richard is very friendly and appears to know what he is doing. I wish he had a bit more time to determine why my car is now shaking and why it now has a noise coming out of the engine which my car never had before.
