Mrs F's Colt (1.3 petrol '07) gets very steamed up on the windscreen some mornings, and when it does, it's a devil to shift. Even with blowers on full and air con on, the stuff is very reluctant to clear, making the car undrivable for 10 minutes or so.
Took to local (independent) garage yesterday, and they had a good look but couldn't find anything. They said the checks included the blowers were blowing properly, the air con drain wasn't blocked, no sign of any leaks.
However as I was picking it up, one of the guys said it could just be the fact that it's a Japanese car - apparently they tend to have better than average door seals, which means moisture can build up. He suggested keeping the air con on all the time to keep it in check.
Does this sound reasonable? Eg. excuse my ignorance but is it ok to have the air con on with the heater setting turned up? Any other thoughts?
BTW I dropped the car off at 8am, picked it up at about 4pm, and 2 engineers rang me (one early and a more senior one later) to describe what they'd done and discuss other possibilities. The total cost was:
£0
So I'll recommend them again: MoT City in Winnersh.
