Air condioning Drain for condensate

Hi everyone, does anyone know if there is a drain for any condensed water that could be trapped in the front heater/cooling unit at the front of the car?. my bongo gives out a bit of a smell when you first put the heater controls to the hot setting.
I wondered if it was water laying in the bottom of the heater unit. The coolant level does not move from month to month so don't believe it is a coolant leak of any sort.

cheers

It's probably bacteria. Gently clean the heater matrix and use your aircon regularly. You can also get aircon cleaner, but regular use is better and keeps the aircon in good condition.

Thanks, is it relatively easy to get to the heater matrix?

about 20 mins get you in to it. remove the fan unit and service that while your in there.

Chances are the matrix is clagged up, every one I've seen has been, spend an hour or two cleaning it out properly, & you'll have a smell free system & it'll probably be much better airflow & cooler too.
