    A/C Drain Hole Location

    Hoping some of you with a B8 could point me in the right direction. I have an annoying A/C musty smell issue that keeps on coming back. Back in April when the car was in for service I brought it up to the dealership and they did some sort of A/C clean/decontamination on the car. While doing so, they replaced the cabin filter as well.

    Now it's only been a couple of months and the smell is back. Based on the countless threads I've read for this issue, people have mentioned to check the A/C drain to see if it's clogged up because that can cause the smell to come back quickly even after getting the A/C cleaned. Does anyone know where the A/C drain is?

    Thanks in advance.

    Just my .02 cents. Post this in the model specific forum. Canada forums is not great for getting tech questions answered, more for local inquires.

    Good luck

    Common issue with all Audi's it seems. I usually turn off the AC a minute before I get home so any moisture in the system is evaporated off. No smell the next time I use the AC but it's there if I forgot to do this.
