Just on auto with eco off, or with demist as well...?

In auto. I then put it to the screen via the demist button which obvioulsy brings the fan on full.

Eco off, auto on, with demist. Clear scuttle drain, new pol filter, ac working, boot vent clear, no damp carpets...any unidentified coolant loss? If not presume lack of use as you say... Heavy breather?

....... Heavy breather?  

It normally works OK for me when I'm on the phone!

I must admit, and it seems a common problem on these cars, but i have never known a car to mist up like these do, when its raining !!! - and the A/C system seems a bit 'vague' - i think it would be VERY helpful if one of you highly knowledgeable people could explain how to stop misting up and how to PROPERLY operate the A/C  system for the de-misting use of - very much appreciated  

well i can tell you how i use it... leave it on auto and adjust the temp accordingly to the temp you want to acheave, when cold starting i dont turn it on to HI, leave on desired temp and cc will manage the temp as heat or whatever you select becomes available, HI is flat out fans reguardless of heat available so with cold engine all you get is cold hair drier. Same with LO but the with flat out ac.so that can take a phew minutes to get cold giving luke warm air for a minut or2. therfor as i said select the temp you want to aceave and let the cc do the rest.

think of it as a heatrer and air con, the climate controle just blends the 2 to give the precise temp you feel comfy in. the fans will blow harder and softer depending on the urgency/temp differential you set. so if you get in the car on a hot day and you set 21 temp the fans will blow hard to cool the cabin to acheave that temp asap and will gradually carm the draft as it gets near the desired temp.

you may feal the fans are too strong on average and there is a soft ware update via tech 2(see THE BOY or Mark DTM/Hotel 21 north of boarder) to calm them down

ECO turns of the ac pump and therefore the de humidifier(?) tosave a tea spoon of fuel but the car will mist up sharpish usually.

the omega is very good with cabin climate generally so any excessive misting on auto with eco off indicates a problem tbh... usually exccesive damp somewhere or the ac is broke

Thats about all i know about that, i am  sure others will advise further...
 

Excellent advice.....i'm bumping it

Sorry, I missed the last 2 words of your response. The answer: Yes, most definitely, especially before I've had my oxygen or after I've cough cough

Check that the recirculation flap is not stuck down (or the linkage damaged). I had this once. You should hear it move when you swich the recirculation off/on.
