My 2006 Kia Specta 5 fills up with water Ech time it rains. The water sloshes around and sometimes comes through the floor on the passenger side. My mechanic has cleaned it out while it is up on the lift. The Kia dealer tells me it will cost upwards of $700 to remove the a/c heater box and make sure there is no fallen away insulation in there. Can you help save me a whole lot of money I can't afford?Many thanks. My 2006 Kia Specta 5 fills up with water Ech time it rains.

Well, I did not have water leaking into my vehicle , but a nasty wet, musty smell when I first air on. This stuff did not eliminate it. So I Googled my problem. Someone said spray Lysol disinfectant into air intake (by windshield ) with vehicle running and opened to vent setting (NOT AC ). Spray it in as air is getting sucked in and VOILA .....bacteria killed and smell gone! I have to do every once in awhile. Works and lasts awhile ....living in very humid place .

you've got a clogged A/C Condensate Drain Pipe.... if it is NOT clogged you would see water dripping out of the carif the AC is on and the air is humid. It it's Clogged... it drains in fills up the a/c box and likely will overflow onto your carpet.

find the drain hole for the ac box under the car, take a compressed air can and blow it back up through the hose to try to unplug it. Even a coat hanger might help clear the obstruction.

If it fills up with water when it rains then your problem is not with the a/c system. To find the leak pull off trim pieces and look for water coming in while some else sprays water from outside.

Look for a heat and air truck and ask the teck how mutch they would charge to install the unit. One factor is how your old condenser failed. If it burned the oil the r22 can NOT be reused so you would need to replace it and it is quite expensive now. You would need around 7 to 15 lbs. it is now over $7 a pound and is usually sold in 35 lb. tanks however a ac teck should have access to the reclaim equipment and small amounts of r22

Yes. I noticed a few drops of water had gotten in. I've only run it through a car wash once though.

I not sure about the replacement parts to this really in-expensive water pump. If it were several hundreds of dollars than I would concern about replacement parts but when it is only less then $60, I would just purchase another one. I know this is perhaps not the answer you were looking for. the only thing that I do with my car is change oil and brakes.. that's it..

Am still not fixing my Avital, l took it to mechanic and they were changing about $350.00. The best way is to find someone who's know how to fix it. Am sorry.

I think it run about $10 a day if you got it cranked wide open. The up side is, I and bring temp up between 8 to 10 degrees in a day. It's a 33,000 pool(20'+40') . I you were just trying to maintain a temp a $1 or 2 at best. It the best way to go. The heater is very good, it lets you know the in-coming water and the out going water temps. I would recommend putting a valve in on the in let side to chock the water down. I got that tip from the factory. Gary

I can only speculate that the tank is not draining either because something is clogged or the pump that pumps condensation build up to the tank is broken.The time that I contacted Danby about maintenance questions they were of no help at all which is why I will not purchase another Danby product. If you contact Danby they are going to tell you to tote your unit down to a repair center. The condenser coils should be cleaned annually but Danby offers no instructions on how to do it yourself and will not want to hear from you. Danby people are jerks.

Assuming it's protected from rain and wind and GFI protected, why not? If I were to do it, I'd apply a coat of really good polymer automobile wax, depending upon where you live. If it's very humid or salty-air, anything can rust. I've had mine for a year and it works great. Word to the wise...it makes a bit of noise when the compressor runs, which I traced to the removable drip tray, accessible from the back. I finally used a rubber band around the tray which seems to keep it tight and very quiet.

Yes, the going rate seems to be 5 years $84, 3 years $59. You must take the Vac to there store for service.

Thank you for asking. unfortunately my thermo cooler started leaking the water from beneath soon i bought it hence did not serve me as i expected. i still have it and i am torn whether to trhow it away as a junk or what can be done.honstly i dont know what to do with it and this discouraged me soo much that i will never purchase anything from you unless you convinince me again that you really care for your customers. you advertised the electric water cooler as a new product but when i opened it, it was used it was not brand new as you advertised. anyway i am helpless under your mercy.Thanks and blessings Thank you for asking. unfortunately my thermo cooler started leaking the water from beneath soon i bought it hence did not serve me as i expected. i still have it and i am torn whether to trhow it away as a junk or what can be done.honstly i dont know what to do with it and this discouraged me soo much that i will never purchase anything from you unless you convinince me again that you really care for your customers. you advertised the electric water cooler as a new product but when i opened it, it was used it was not brand new as you advertised. anyway i am helpless under your mercy.Thanks... » Read More Thank you for asking. unfortunately my thermo cooler started leaking the water from beneath soon i bought it hence did not serve me as i expected. i still have it and i am torn whether to trhow it away as a junk or what can be done.honstly i dont know what to do with it and this discouraged me soo much that i will never purchase anything from you unless you convinince me again that you really care for your customers. you advertised the electric water cooler as a new product but when i opened it, it was used it was not brand new as you advertised. anyway i am helpless under your mercy.Thanks and blessings « Show Less

Sounds like the coolant has leaked out. Shouldn't be ANY odor and you certainly shouldn't see any liquid. I would ask for a replacement. Definitely hidden freight damage. Tough to prove now and it's awkward and difficult to open in front of UPS or FedEx driver to prove it happened before you received it. Best of luck.

Wont hurt anything I was driving for a year with it leaking water into the oil seems the oil is so hot it steams the water out of the oil. I wouldnt go out of my way to put extra coolant in the oil and why dont you drain the coolant first. Its at the top of the engine prb drained down lower. I saw no coolant in mine and like you say change the oil. I just traded my 2001 Impala 118K mi for a 2013 Altima I am tired of fixing stuff. Everything was about to go in that car. Tranny was next.

Well, Zach... Remove the thermostat only if you know for sure it's stuck closed and won't open. But, my advice to you Zach, is this: If you haven't opened the bottle of BlueDevil Pour-n-go yet, take it back and get a refund!!!! This BlueDevil Pour-n-go stuff is worthless! I will kill your (radiator, water-pump and the heater core!!!) The BEST head/engine sealer I have ever used is (MAROSO CERAMIC HEAD/ENGINE SEALER) You can buy it at any racing speed shop for around $25 a bottle.Don't wast your money on **** BlueDevil Pour-n-go JUNK!!! **** GOOD-LUCK!

After staring at it for a few months took mine to an installer and for $125 they had it in and working beautifully that morning. The seal is fine and it's been nice to have more usable space, especially during a storm. So it can be done. On mine, once installed it slightly interfered with opening the trunk in the pickup bed, but not enough to restrict anything I've wanted to do with it.

I'm gonna say no. When a section of the paint gets damaged water seeps behind the paint and makes a spider web mess in the paint. Then it starts to crack and flack off. That's what it does to my shower walls anyway. It was only supposed to be a temp fix until certain parts were fixed and replaced. Besides, it would cost a lot to do your whole car with this paint.

I put the unit on a small platform (4" high) and used a cheap furnace moisture pump and some tubing to force the water out. There were shallow condensation pumps available but I didn't think they were worth the extra cost. Be careful with the amount of tension on the tubing, I broke my drain because I constantly move the thing depending on how I am using and where I am in the room. (my office and gym are one in the same plus some times you just want a fan blowing on you) I used a little marine repair putty to fix it and haven't had a problem
