can any one help , when my climate control is on the windows condensate on the inside of the windows but if you press the eco button the problem seems to go away , i know the obvious answer is to just use the eco button all the time but thats not what i want any ideas of whats causing the condension ? :'(

1st and cheapest (because it's free) thing to try is check that the skuttle drains are clear. Passenger side just under the windscreen is a flap, make sure it's not full of water :y

When you say "press the eco button" .. does the word ECO appear in the dash ???
Selecting ECO (ECO appears in the dash) turns the aircon off, so stops dehumidifying the air, this will increase condensation
ECO OFF .. (no word in the dash) .. air con fully working and dehumidifying.
Do you have "RECIRC" selected ... circle of three little arrows ?? This will increase humidity as you are not allowing fresh air in... so try it OFF (no circle of arrows)
Have you checked the rear air vents ... in the boot, right hand side, behind the "first aid" flap .... make sure there are no cloths or rubish down the bottom blocking the vents. If the vents are blocked then no fresh air again.

thats with the eco light up on the dash

I also had a similar problem and it turned out to be a blocked drain under the nearside scuttle.You wouldn't believe the muck I cleared out. I also changed the pollen filter whilst I was in there...........problem solved
-
ECO on the dash means air con is OFF so more likely to steam up ... unless vents are blocked, pollen filter blocked/wet, or the scuttle full as said .. :)
For the aircon to run properly, it needs a feed of fresh, dry air in past the pollen filter .. if it doesn''t get this it can't do its job .. :)

and the recerc is not selected

it all seems to be dry in there and the pollen filter feels dry too :(

Is this on the Facelift? There was a recent thread on this and MarkDTM posted the GM Service Update for it :y :y
-
yes it is a facelift
-
few things, when was the pollen filter last changed?
Make sure the scuttle drain is clear, and the vent in the boot. Next time i mists up on Auto, press the A button, wait 5 seconds, then press auto again :y

Service update applied to problems after power loss or low battery
basically with the system running select through the recirc options pausing at each one ... recirc (3 arrows), autorecirc (3 arrows with an A in) to normal (no arrows)
This was supposed to reset the recirc system if it was out of synch.
