Default Water under my car

I have started to notice water under my car after driving. The water drips from the left and right under the driver and passenger side, making two separate wet spots. This has happened without using the air conditioning. I am planning to take a cross-country trip in couple of days, and will really appreciate if someone can throw some light on it.

I have 118K on my 2004 A6 2.7.

Thanks!

hi, i'm no mechanic but it might be your plenum drains they get clogged with leaves, had mine done last week and there was approx 2 buckets of water that came out. they're down below the battery area.


Revised Maintenance Program
Audi is recommending inspection (and cleaning if necessary) of the sunroof drain systems and plenum drains every 40,000 miles (or at the last scheduled maintenance interval prior to 40,000 miles) or every 2 years, whichever comes first (the “Revised Maintenance Schedule”) as well as periodic checking and clearing of foreign matter or debris from the front sunroof drain valves and plenum areas.

hope this helps.

Just to be on the safe side, I would pull up your front carpets and check for moisture. Hopefully. you don't have the dreaded Audi "water in the cabin" problem, which many Audis are prone to.
