Steamed windows!!@@!!

Get a moisture absorber thing and get all the water out of your car, obviously it has got in at somepoint.

My Civic Type-R is terrible for condensation on the inside, on a couple of occasions I've had droplets of water on the inside of the windscreen.

Stuck one of those silica gel packs in the car on the dash last night and got in to a completely clear front & rear windscreen. Magical little things!

Buying a £30,000 car seems to be the logical answer.

Much less than that, though i was being sarcastic which is something you fail to pick up, regulary.

Great things, i leave my cam lenses in my boot in a bag, stick one of them in and no fungus

Will get some of these. Where can i get them?

You need to buy some shoes.

Don't skimp either, they must cost at least as much as a Phaeton to be worthwhile.

Wrong, I never take what you say seriously.

If the temperature is under 4c the aircon compressor will not work as this is the cut off temperature for all VAG cars. I had a lot of condensation as I leave the AC on all year and when the temperature was dropping under 4c the windows would steam up due to the moisture in the system not being removed by the now redundant AC system.

You need to get the car de-misted without the AC on and then open all the windows to allow the moisture out which is now in the air and then don't use the AC over winter bar every so often to lubricate the seals in the system. I have done this and my windows never steam up over the winter.

A/C acts as a dehumidifier (that is part of what Air Condition means) but as soon as you turn it off, the ice that has formed on the matrix is melted, heated and returned into the car.

If you leave it on with the heat set to warm the car, when you stop the water melts and drains out of the car, so long term extensive use is the best way to dehumidify a car.

Like was said above, A/C is not just for cooling, it can be used in conjunction with the heater as well. If you have climate and set it to demist, it cranks up the A/C and the heat, it appears to be widely misunderstood.

Heat IS the best way to demist a window, A/C just removes moisture from the air to stop it getting worse.

Not sure, I'd like to know too to be honest - I just pinched one that I had lying about from some random PC parts delivery.

 

[whitecrook]

car / camping shops sell them

Once they have absorbed the moisture you need to remove them until the dry out or they won't do anything.

 

[Fr0dders]

AC still works when you have it set to warm...

This

switch the aircon on, but then set the temp dial to a comfortable temperature

the air still goes thorugh the condensor, drying it out, but goes through the heater as well so comes out however hot or cold you want it.

 

[ScoobyDoo69]

Or have the air con off with the windows open for a bit to get rid of the moisture instead of having to driving with the air con on all the time.

Unibond humidity stop, just leave behind the passenger seat.

 

[excaliborg]

Sock full of rice also has a similar effect of absorbing moisture, just take out to dry on the radiator once it feels damp.

 

[Locky]

Try replacing the cabin filter.

This.

Try holding your breath.
