Do you drive at night often? Or only during the day?
When the air is warm it can absorb more water, but when the air cools the relative humidity goes up. When it reaches a certain point the air can't hold the water anymore and condensation will form on a surface (like the windows). When you drive during the day (and there is a high humidity), the warm air gets inside the cabin, when it turns really cold at night, it needs to get rid of the moisture in the air because it has cooled down. Might not be the case, but I just thought I'd throw it out there...

If you have a sunroof, the drains probably aren't blocked, they probably don't reach the front drain tube connections on the wheel arch, so any water drops into the cabin.

At least i'm not alone then I have tried running 2 of those 'Air Con Bombs' through the system. I used Comma ones and they do smell really nice compared to others out there De-oderises the car very nicely, but hasnt cured my fogging issue. Maybe it's becuase i hvent used the A/C for 6 months owing the the low speed resistor going. Didnt want to damage the compressor. Will use it 24/7 for a while and see if it clears itself out.

To help clear the condensation there are many products where you can put a container of water absorbent crystals in the car to help dry it out. I bought some for my Rover when it was off the road and the inside was showing signs of damp. Once dried out it kept the car from from damp. You can buy crystals that once saturated you can microwave to dry them out.
The damp was coming from water that was penetrating the car because a drain hole was blocked blocked on one side of the car (not the plenum drain holes). Its worth the investment. |

I have replaced the resistor. Got a kit from Jules about a week ago, so all is good now. the moisture issue to be honest, is a lot better than it was. I've had the A/C Running every day to and from work for the last week. I still get window fog when i turn it off however. But better than it was. Will try some of Autokool's stuff & report back

These bactericides need to be sprayed directly onto the evaporator surface. nebrog23 posted a clever way of reaching it.
