Check the pollen filter, scuttle drain and the vents in the boot (in the bottom of the side cubby hole on a saloon and and the rear of the spare wheel well on an estate)

Funny lol ;D ;D ;D ;D
I checked the scuttle the rear air vents were clear which they were.
What do I look for on the pollen filter as it still looks new :-/
-
if you have alot of junk in that boot cubby space then that stops it working too!
best thing to do is to keep the fan on number 1 on the windscreen- thats what i do and it keeps the air circulating... mine steams up easy as anything without the fan on but i breath very heavily im told haha!
-
Check if the pollen filter has got damp,if so put it somewhere warm overnight or buy a new one.
-
is the ac working and eco off?
No damp in the car, carpets dry, including the rear foot well?

Funny you say that I did have a fair bit in there but now the vents are clear. Unfortunately its only slightly better still mists up.

Might have to look at this idea you never know.
If I was to get a new filter which one would I need? 2 types from what Ive heard.

Unforunately I dont have an eco button but a circulate button and twist dials :'(
I have checked the carpets, and the rear footwells are dry.

Maybe a good idea but constant blowing on the screen will put a film over it which will attract moisture and thus 'mist up' :-/ :-/ :-/ :-/ :-/

sonds like you got a pin hole in the heater matrix,you could always check for loose connections at point of entry to matrix,could suggest you try a rad sealer?if all else fails as matrix not so handy to gain access and remove
-
Think I sorted mine, changed pollen filter, checked vents in boot, all fine, then washed car and found about a gallon of water in the scuttle, the rubber tube was blocked solid, cleaned it out and woopee seems to be ok now ;D
-
I find that if I don't keep the window clean it mists up easily. As my window gets more dirt on it I can use the eco button less and less!

Surely if there was a Matrix problem the car would overheat etc :-/

Have to admit the car could do with a good clean inside and out :(

I think I may just get a new pollen filter for good measure any Idea on what the prices are from VX without trade club
-
Got mine from local factors, £5.39 :)
-
Keeping air con on tends to help too
-
Nice one, glad to hear you are sorted :y :y :y :y
-
So far I still need to replace the filter but for the moment as mentioned the AC does help alot.
Shall be visiting my local motor factors asap to see what they cost :y
-
I have the same problems: basically there is a lot of dampness that condensates of the screen. one solution is to dry the air with the aircon; the other is to stop the moisture on the screen by giving at a good clean with glass cleaner/polish such asd autoglass glass cleaner.polish
