Air Con Moisture

GlacierNR · 29-06-2006, 03:15

06 Fabia Estate: After I turn off the AC (its got climate control) I have to open the windows. If not they fog up. Gotta keep them open for about 15 minutes. This doesn't seem right. Has anyone else had this happen?

I have a service coming up and a few other niggly things to solve, just wanted to know if this was normal or if it should be added to the warranty fix list.

It's pretty normal, a setting that seems to reduce it is to put it on windows/floor (dial to the left). I then tend to turn off the AC but leave the fan on whilst I travel the last mile or so.

Get the aircon drain checked, if blocked water will build up in the system to vented inside when it is switched off.

Thanks, I'll try the other setting and when its in the dealer I'll ask them to check the drain port as well.
