Hose behind the dash?
- Thread starter Chreetz

Depending on the spec level of your van, that is where the a/c branches off to give you a cooler function in the glove box. I think it's only on high spec or Comfort Dash versions. The leak may still be a/c related but unless you have the cooler function, there is nothing missing from that pic.
If you don’t have the duct to the glove box (for it to be cooled) maybe that outlet should be blocked off? If it were open and cold air was venting from it then I guess condensation would build up on warm parts - which is maybe why there is some surface rust locally?
Turn the air con on and see if cold air comes out that hole (if not it must be capped off internally and the problem is something else).

Nothing will come out of the tube shown in the photo until it is all connected up to the main a/c system. The fault does seem to point to a leak / blocked air con drain but that vent/hole behind the glove box isn't the culprit (or connected to anything) maybe there is a cracked pipe / bad junction somewhere else? As @Lubrown says
hello!
Our new little polo has a vent in the glovebox which feeds cold air from the air con and keeps stuff nice and cool. Having a look inside the T6 glovebox there appears to be a blank where this vent would be and interestingly when you remove the glovebox there's an outlet ready and waiting.
Does this come as standard on higher spec models? (Mine is only a trendline)
