I just read on forum about bloke who cant de-mist windows & has horrible smell.Well i dont get a smell but the controls all work except it wont switch the hot air onto the window vent at bottom of screen??

Is it a mechanical promblem or electrical??

Its bad enough coping with 340 bhp in the wet, let alone when you cant see **** all!!

Any ideas guys???

the demist uses cold air anyway, is your a/c working properly as without a/c the demist wont work right.

Coarse it can. Mines stays on econ unless really wissing down and heavy breathers inside then it makes sense for the ac on to de humidify.

 

Maybe you have a leak from t tops making the carpets damp and that leads to misted up windows when its warmed up. Other poss is the matrix and maybe no smell because you dont have enough anti freeze.

 

You might also have a screen vent problem -does it not select on manual even? When the dmist is used it should override everything to max with dehumidified ar on the screen

Thanks for reply

There is no damp in car or leaks, the air will not direct up to front windscreen even when i push demist button, its like the vent at base of windscreen just leaks a small amount of air but no amount that clears anything, the controls divert it everywhere except there??
