windscreen fogging on inside.
« on: 01 December 2012, 19:55:21 »

Hello all. Anybody got any good advice on stopping my windscreen fogging up in the mornings. It's a real pain in the a**e. Tried the aircon but it's not really quick.

Press Auto mode, switch-on the air recirculation by pressing the button A once (3 round arrows will be indicated, without "A" in the middle). Now the ECC will recognize the correct flap position. Wait 1-2 secs then switch off the air recirc by pressing button "A" again.

Also check the scuttle drain, if it's wet in there, it could be making the pollen filter damp.

Probably, haven't you ever wiped your bathroom mirror with a bit of shaving foam so you can see to shave?  ;) ;)

Mine was a right pain this morning on the way to Birmingham. I also flicked the recerc button a couple of times. Then I noticed nipper had his back pack and coat stuffed down the passengers footwell. Got him to put it in the back seat and it seemed to stop fogging. So not sure if it was the redirc switch needed a tweek or the coat blocking a vent

Also ensure the ventilation exhaust holes are clear, as you need an airflow through the car to get rid of the moisture that builds up.

These are in the OS cubby hole in the boot, at the bottom. Its best to leave this cubby hole pretty empty, with 1st aid kit suspended in its cage higher up.
