misting up windows

[marky79]

got a problem with misting up windows
post your problems here


the most common cures of this is not knowing you have the aircon on by stealth
pressing the front demist button on to clear the front windscreen
will send more air to the front windscreen but it will also turn the aircon on
even thou the aircon button will not be lit up
so when you turn the heater back to full heat the heater matrix will be freezing cold
and as it heats back up you may get a misting problem with the car
this will get you stuck in a cycle of turning the front demist back on
and turning the heat back up so the misting will never go away

also if you leave the heater setting to just the up position
again the aircon will be on by stealth and the light will not be lit up
so you will not be aware that the air con is on
so turning the heater to full heat will again curse misting in the car

to cure this leave the heater settings in up and front
or have all 3 settings on
but never up on its own for long periods of time

to get the front windscreen to demist quicker
close all 4 air vents and put the heater setting in up and forward
and turn the heater setting to max
it will work just as well as front demist


other issues may be due to a damp pollen fillter
so make sure you change that every year to keep
it nice and clean

also water in the footwell and rear boot are ones to watch for also..


so any misting problems post your problems on here.

I get misting windows but only when its raining, when it stop raining the windows don't mist,
any idea.
