Jakey_matthews Posted December 28, 2016 Report Share Posted December 28, 2016 Hello, I have recently got a lupo as my first car. With the cold weather upon us I have been getting a lot of condensation on the inside of the window screen and it takes 10-15 mins to clear it alsofreezes over night on especially cold nights. So I was just wondering if anyone has any tips to prevent this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sausage Posted December 28, 2016 Report Share Posted December 28, 2016 It's damp in the car so look in the usual places for water getting in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted December 28, 2016 Report Share Posted December 28, 2016 Get a few of those silica gel pouches chucked in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loop'd Posted December 29, 2016 Report Share Posted December 29, 2016 Is there a sweet smell ? Could be heater matrix or water build up in the scuttle area allowing water into the blowers.. Im going for heater matrix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted December 29, 2016 Report Share Posted December 29, 2016 on the tt forum this is called fug. silica cat litter in a sock, like the pouches but man size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wehey Posted December 29, 2016 Report Share Posted December 29, 2016 Maybe the previous owner was incontinent. Try the sniff test on the front seat ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im going for heater matrix. if the matrix has gone the window never clears as your blowing water vapour at it Edited December 29, 2016 by Mobieus_uk changed steam to water vapour 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loop'd Posted January 1, 2017 Report Share Posted January 1, 2017 f you have air con leeve it on at all times and set the fan for fresh air not reserculate ,the air con will dry the air cold air is dry so drawing in cold air from out side will absorb moisture faster than damp air allready in the car...

Pete Posted January 2, 2017 Report Share Posted January 2, 2017 Surely if you're pulling in fresh air you're constantly getting fresh, moist air. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loop'd Posted January 7, 2017 Report Share Posted January 7, 2017 Cold air is naturally dry thus will absorb moisture from inside the car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
