The drain on the 97 Jetta is not accessible from under the dashboard, as I discovered after removing enough panels to expose the whole arrangement. There is a stamped metal tube that extends from the condenser unit forward through the firewall and the only access to the end of this tube is directly behind the engine in the engine compartment itself. Behind the engine you will see a foil insulation panel glued against the firewall with a couple of horseshoe shaped break-outs. Pry the the lower center break-out upwards. Do not remove it completely. Right under it you will feel a rubber flap covering the end of the tube. Unfortunately it is not visible from any working angle. You can pry the rubber flap up with your finger, but do not stick your finger into the tube. Insert a very small stick or short small screwdriver into the tube and move it in a circular motion to break up the jelly that has accumulated. The water that is in the unit will begin to flush out the jam-like plug or clog. Once you have stirred and the water is beginning to flow remove the stick while continuing to hold the rubber flap open for a good strong flush while the water lasts. Then let go of the flap. Do not force it shut but let it relax on its own. Carefully fold the foil break-out down into place, leaving a little space between it and the rubber so as not to inhibit drainage in the future.
