Is this normal.Due to the hot weather I have the climate control on cold setting. I noticed when I park my car that water drips from the underneath of the car. When I turn the climate control off there is no water drips.

Perfectly normal in my experence. Both my last two Renaults left pools of water when aircon used up to the point of parking. Interestingly, I've not noticed it on my Zafira even though the aircon has been full on in the last few weeks.

Agree with Victorbox. Seen this on various cars in extremely hot weather - it's nothing to worry about.

Cheers

It's the condensation dripping off the cooling matrix;perhaps the Zafira drain is blocked!

A/c systems are designed to cool and de humidify, thus the water they collect has to disposed off, hence the drip drip of water under the car when parked or when moving, perfectly normal and nothing to worry about.
