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

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

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!

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

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 think I may just get a new pollen filter for good measure any Idea on what the prices are from VX without trade club

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
