Hello

This is my first post please be kind.

My 2015 SE 1.2 tsi is constantly damp.

everytime i go out and then get back to the car it is steamed up.

i use the aircon to dry it out and its the same after the next journey.

i leave the window open a bit when i park it in the garage.

any ideas

James

Any leaks noticed? Wet floor mats/carpet? Water in the spare wheel space? Always driving with a/c off?

Hi

Thanks for your reply.

we now use the aircon all the time. to try and help.

I will check the places you mentioned.

i will also check that the pollen filter isnt damp.

no leaks noticed but it does seem to be the windscreen that is worst.

I understand what you are talking about, I've only noticed it with my wife's August 2015 Polo SEL a couple of times, is it not just some deposit that has been left on the inside of the windscreen from initial glass manufacture?

The people on the Skoda Fabia forums rage about this a lot!

My wife's car is always kept in the garage but we never leave windows open, very annoying, in general the heating/ventilation on this later version of Polo/Fabia/Ibiza does seem to be very much below what you should expect from a modern car, even my daughter's old late 2009 SEAT Ibiza, for me, is a pain in the bum to use in colder weather - due entirely to the windscreen misting up a lot until the car engine has warmed up, really not good enough so there are design issues behind all this I'd reckon and not just a lot of moaning owners!!

Thankyou for your reply.

I will look at what i can under the dashboard. and the flooring at the front. and rear of course.

Both my old 2012 1.4 polo was bad for this and also my 63 plate blue gt mist up alot, i recently bought these dehumidifier bean bag things and put them in the car although i think they are more of a gimic then anything. hasn't really helped at all. I honestly think its a design thing.
