I think the bulkhead drains are more prone to blocking than the air-con drains on the D3. Even more so if your car is kept outside and especially at this time of the year with all the leaves blowing off the trees they soon wreak havoc.

I'v done the air con ones previously, mine is outside and picking up crap lol!
I'm sure he'll let me pop back at some point with a screwdriver, I knew about these as well but not driving it for a while I've forgot all about them

Just to add to this , my car is the 4.2 tdi and on a ramp it is really difficult to get the drains from underneath ......its hard to see them never mind get a them !! maybe the 3L is a bit easier ...not sure
From the top side iirc , the passenger one is not to bad just get a good torch and shine down the side of the pollen filter casing to the bottom of the well you will see it , i used a blow gun with a length of copper brake tubing attached so you can bend it about a bit , just give them a poke and a blast (sounds sexual init ) The drivers side one is more arkward because the heater pipe work and wiring looms are in the way , but with your sturdly constructed bendy metal blowing tube and a bit of 'fettling ' (st. helens word meaning fixing up ) you will do it . Word of caution ..... just beware of 'blow back ' you could end up eating all kinds of Flora and Fauna ....acorns and 'helicopter seeds' mmmm Oak tree leaves with liver and glass of Chianti .....slurp slurp slurp
