Car Forum / Peugeot Cars / December 2003wind screen steam up
wonder if anyone can help, the windows on my peugeot 306 steam up on the inside really easily on these cold mornings. Bill > wonder if anyone can help, > the windows on my peugeot 306 steam up on the inside really easily on these > cold > mornings. Could be you have damp carpets or seats somewhere inside the car. Unless it's just "normal" moisture misting up the inside of the windows, the moisture must be coming from somewhere.

You could always stop breathing ;-) Seriously, if it's the windows you haven't got too much to bother about, winding them down and back up again should clear them. If the windscreen steams up inside after you have turned the heater onto demist you may have a leak in the heater matrix. If you have don't panic, Wynn's Radiator Stop Leak usually does the trick. Ron Robinson ive noticed that water enters from the light console. ive just tightened the aerial bolt, a while back when we had really heavy rain I also noticed that there was a damp patch in the front passenger footwell, still havent traced that one tho > wonder if anyone can help, > the windows on my peugeot 306 steam up on the inside really easily on these > cold > mornings. > > Bill > ive noticed that water enters from the light console. ive just tightened the > aerial bolt, a while back when we had really heavy rain I also noticed that > there was a damp patch in the front passenger footwell, still havent traced > that one tho water leaking through the aerial hole is a common problem. If tightening the bolt doesn't fix the leak, try removing the aeriel and putting a bit of sealant around the base before re-securing. My damp patch in the passenger footwell was due to a faulty windscreen seal although there are other possibilities.

You haven't left the heater on re-circulated air rather than drawing air from outside have you????

This can be used to warm a vehicle quicker although if left on for any length of time can cause the vehicle to steam up. Drawing fresh air from outside and heating this air provides dryer air so less condensation. Regards Spencer |
