[V8] Fw: Air Conditioning Drain

[Kneale Brownson]

I've used the plastic weed whip cord to clear the sunroof drains (Audi
manuals suggest using speedo cable innards), and suggested to someone a
while back they try the weed whip stuff on the drain from the evaporator
box.  That person reported success with clearing the evap box drain.  I
think he said he had to use the smallest diameter weed whip cord available
in his area.
