Inside Condensation

[Connor19]

Hi Guys,

Just a quick question, anybody else experience condensation on the windscreen primarily and other windows overnight? My car is a Clio MK3 2006 1.4L, and have owned it since the start of December which is my first car, so I apologize now if this has a simple fix and me not knowing due to my poor mechanical knowledge I have just ordered some silicone bags which I will be placing on the dash over night to help this problem, but I know this is not a permanent fix. Any suggestions would be helpful!

Thanks,

Connor.

Poundal do a scented dehumidifier

Are you sure it doesn't have a leak?

Small leak could cause that sort of condenstaion.

What would be the best places to look for a leak that would cause this? Tomorrow I am going to have a good look in the car, boot and engine to ensure the water passages in the engine from the windscreen are clear.

Feel the carpets all round, If its got a leak you'll always have a condensation problem.. could be a door seal, heater matrix etc etc

Clean the inside of the windows with a decent glass cleaner, then check for leaks /wet carpets

Bulkhead drains are very common on the mark 3.
It will be wet inside.

Okay thanks for the suggestions everyone, I will have a proper look tomorrow.

My mum has a mk3 and tonight i noticed the windscreen has terrible condensation. How do you get to the bulkhead drains?

Take the wipers off and the plastic panel. the o/s drain is really small and you need to cut the end off it.
