Fogging Up!!

Seem to be experiencing a lot of misting on the interior when it's wet or cold outside. I've seen a few motors with air con suffer this (ie, the air con hasn't been used for a while, then it is and it's all humid, but I haven't used air con as I bought it in winter).

Even with the blowers full tilt on side and windscreen only, it comes back again misted up not to long after I put the blowers on auto.

I would suspect some water ingress but doesn't appear to be the case.

Anyone else notice this as an issue with D4's?

in the 3 D3's and 3 D4's I've owned they have all been poor in certain weather conditions



I believe it to be a feature of the model sir Whistle

Nah, that really would be a schoolboy error Embarassed

Pollen filter - perhaps? I just think the vents are crap to be honest. My XC90 had awesome heating system (guess the Swedes need it more than us Brits). When you whacked it up to 28-30, you knew about it. But the D4, even at 28 and full blast, doesn't really knock you off your seat with a heat wave does it.

Turn the right hand heat temp control knob anticlockwise fast and watch the centre display screen.

correct

I always thought the D4 HVAC was worse thatn the D3
have just gone back to D3 and it has confirmed it my thoughts - D3 has a better HVAC system esp for heating

I haven't tried this yet for fear of something bad happening. Will it be like a scene out of 'Back to the Future'? Laughing
