Car Forum / Fiat Cars / November 2005Punto window condensation
hi my 1995 Punto has a terrible problem with the inside of the front window screen is always heavily condensated up in the winter. No matter how many time I dry off the screen... it comes back. The car seems to be dry under the carpets.... HELP please Joan I've had this problem with many cars after my wife switches the heated air to re-circulate and not 'new' air coming into the car have a check, it might help? omega > hi > [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > > Joan > my 1995 Punto has a terrible problem with the inside of the front window > screen is always heavily condensated up in the winter.

Did once have a leaking heater matrix that lost enough water to cause this problem, the water seemed to get trapped in the heater shroud, so didn't wet the carpets. ato_zee@hotmail.com heeft uiteengezet op 14-11-2005 : >> my 1995 Punto has a terrible problem with the inside of the front window >> screen is always heavily condensated up in the winter.

Then you are also loosing cooling fluid... that can be checked ofcourse (mine went not so long ago, but not really wet windows, just a little when using the blower).  SignatureGrt. Frank Email frank@usenet4all dot com I can't help with the problem but I can say that all 7 fiats I have owned had the same problem so if you find a cure please post. > hi > [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > > Joan > hi > [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > > Joan Try replacing/renewing the cabin air filter. Another Dave Thanks for all the suggestions ..... looks like husband will be busy this weekend. Joan If it's garaged leave one window open at night, lets the air circulate.

I agree, it is possible to have one, but only the mk1's with airco would have one standard (at least, that is what the Fiat dealer told me in Holland). And indeed, i dont have the "rack" mounted to contain that filter. SignatureGrt. Frank Email frank@usenet4all dot com PjL stelde de volgende uitleg voor : > hi > [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > > Joan But you could check if the draine holes are open and not obstructed by leaves or some other stuff... just to be sure. SignatureGrt. Frank Email frank@usenet4all dot com > hi > [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > > Joan Also check the rear windows are tight shut, if you have the 5 door. Both of my Puntos have tended to open a tiny bit and in some conditions a little water will drip on to the rear seat. However, I found that the main times that the front screen mists badly are when the air control is on re-cycle, or the front mats are damp from wet feet. David. |
