Hi all. Sorry if this is a silly question but I haven't experienced such dampness and drizzle for a while. Left the car for a week in heavy rain/damp and started it and put fan on to windscreen on cold (i don't liek to use heaters til engine warm)...all good and no mist at all. Then after a few miles put heaters on and suddenly windows filled with mist, so bad I had to stop. It then cleared it after a couple of mins and all good.
Left it another cold drizzly few days and got in car, no mist upon entering but this time started car with heaters on and within 10 seconds mist everywhere, again clearing with blowers.
Is this just normal as heaters evaporate damp water or does it suggest a problem. Am I right in thinking no mist upon entering the car means cabin doesn't leak but maybe water is collecting in a cabin filter, if this even has a filter (it's got factory fitted A/C). What do you guys think.
