Found this pic... looks like the drain exits the air box into the interior, then exits the car about 1 1/2 feet below that (if that makes sense) :? There are probably indentions and/or clips where the drain hoses should fit. Why the drain enters the car is a mystery, but that is what the germans did so i'm going to leave it that way :) Hope that helps![/img]

Looked at it this morning & it looks simple. I would just blow it out (you could even pour some water down it to see if it drains well) I don't have a bentley (but find often that I need one though as this haynes is worth $0 for those of us with FI cars!) Hope this helps...
