my cars been parked up 3 days,raining heavily,no staemed/condensation build up,today drove to work 12 miles away,had heaters on(need them now lol) came back to the car 5 hours later,lots of condensation on front and rear screens (inside).........why? never had this on any other cars
 
anyone got any pics which way the pollen filter fits?...theres one in the car thats been fitted a few months back,but im guessing it may have been fitted wrong way round or something....ive heard these can cause condensation if blocked,i suppose same go's if its fitted wrong.
 
is the filter damp ?
i had this with a damp filter chabged it all good now
 
il check it tomorrow,1 month ago i checked it,it was dry then....how would it get wet now?

ac may have been,light is off now....i was use to the a3...with the econ light on all the time
 
i get this all the time, some cars are worse than others. it's worst in wintery times because the shines through the glass and warms up the interior like a green house, while the glass stays icy due to the cold air ~ at least that's my theory. My last car, a Lacetti, was awful, i carried a roll of kitchen paper in the footwell, would get about a pint of the glass each day when i left work. got a slica gel crystal bag thing, but it does nothing because, as far as i can tell, it's down to the above condensation issue not moisture in the air itself.
 
Use AC and the heater to get rid of condensation.
 
+1 for the ac... It takes moisture out of the air so makes a big difference to fogging issues!
