doctor doctor, yesterday my cockpit started to mist up rather quickly whilst i was driving, is this something to worry about? what are the possible causes? and are there any miracle cures? or will i need to do some work?? here are some top notch images of my concerns!!

Pick up some of the antimist stuff you can get for your windscreen, should work. Sell it at Hellfrauds and places like that. |

i get thison my car and thinking about it it is possible that you are getting moisture inside the car. i have just taken apart the inside of my car this evening inorder to remove the soaking wet carpet!, see my post in chit chat! |

I found that the A/C turned on will remove the mist/condensation inside the car very efficiently. |

[quote="GOGOBROOM"]lol yup thats ok .... IF you have aircon... unfortunately both of mine do not [/quote]Ah, true... I got conned on the first 323F I bought. The dealer said it had A/C, though later it showed it only had the A/C button! Luckilly I could return the car and buy another 323F from another place the same day - this time with A/C and a bigger (1. engine for the same price as the first!

Y'know, I reckon this could be unique to those with air-con, cos it's never happened to me :D:D

it did it 2 me for the first time the other day, i aint got aircon either. i have chucking it down with rain (very very heavy) and i was on the motorway slowed to about 40mph. i looked down to spot the speed i was doing and notice exactly the same thing you got. its never done that before and never done it since, i assumed it was coz i had the heaters on and there was so much moisture in the air.

My ex's Jetta had a problem with steaming up - turned out the heater 'radiator' under the dash was leaking. Only in this case, the entire windscreen misted up entirely the instant she switched the heater on ... I fixed it by re-routing the radiator hose to the heater directly back into the engine. Luckily we don't need heaters here in SA that often !
