A/C Drain Tubes - Trapped/Crushed

87jaguar01

CONDENSATE DRAIN TUBES
SECTION: 82
No: 2
Model: XJ6 3.6 Date: DECEMBER, 1987
KEY POINTS: TRAPPED/CRUSHED A/C DRAIN TUBES
To prevent the possibility of the R/H side condensate drain tube being accidentally trapped/crushed during production build, a revised fixing incorporating a "P" clip and stud arrangement has been introduced from VIN 528549.

On air conditioned vehicles prior to VIN 528549 it is important to insure that the L/H and particularly the R/H drain tubes are free from restriction. Special attention should be paid to the R/H tube to ensure that it is not trapped or kinked by the transmission insulation pad.
