Can anyone advise as to why my Mig condenses up inside after she has been driven. Pollen filter renewed, scuttle drain clear, rear vent in boot clear, no dampness in car. Got me baffled.

[Gaffers]

Air con drain blocked?

[Marks DTM Calib]

Simple, the aircon condenser will be wet.

Same happens here - clears once I start up though.

Where is the aircon drain?

Thank for the replies but if Air Con Condenser is wet what is the fix? And as Steve has asked, where is the air con drain and is it easily unblocked?

Mine has no air con and still steams up 

[omega3000]

Only other thing i can find at the minute is

recirc motor failure, leaving the flap stuck in recirc. Look up under the glovebox and have someone hit the recirc button to see if the flap moves

I know mine has been temperamental with the dash button not lighting up sometimes , but you should be able to hear it working when switched on .

Anyone know the Air Con drain is?

[BazaJT]

Could it not just be a simple case of the car being warm inside and the air being cold outside causing the condensation?

Under the car between the exhausts and the chassis rails. One each side iirc

That's because it doesn't have a system for drying the air before it comes into the car. Thus when it rains, the car will mist up

You can reasonably expect a car, even with working aircon, to mist up once the engine is switched off, especially on cooler damp days

Nothing much to fix, if the condensor is working, it will have water from the air condensing on it. This then drains out under the car

Just to add, the air is drawn in through the pollen filter before it reaches the condensor, so unless you've been pouring things into the heater assembly, there is no real reason for these drains to be blocked

Espcially if theres some extra activity going on inside in the car

Elucidate please

Of course it will mist up after use as the warm, moist air condensates on the windows. If it get really cold, really quickly, you will need your scraper on the inside of the windscreen in the morning.
