Hi, I'm writing this just in case any of you have an idea so I can fix my problem. I own a Jimny 2008 automatic. Since its last service a month ago, I listen a sound of gurgling water in the passanger side, like it comes from the a/c, and for some reason, suddenly the washer water tank empties.

I took the vehicle to maintenance and they did an a/c diagnostic, said everything was ok and gave no importance to the fact of the washer tank getting empty suddenly. My brother decided to go and test the Jimny with the washer tank empty and after one hour in the road, the a/c stopped working.

Any idea would be welcomed!

P.D. I live in a Caribbean island and the regular temperature is 38C, lots of rain and mud.

i had this gurgeling sound in a previous car (not a jimny ) turned out it was the heater coor inside the dash board , when not completely full u can hear water in there sloshing around , i would look at your cooling system first .

The same error with my jim. When I leave it with rear end lower, screenwash water leaks thru rear window washer noozle. doeasn't happen when on level ground or front end facng down. Considering to cancel the rear washer since it is useless anyway, but not sure. may be to rise it up a little - add noozle directly to wiper.
