Windscreen condensation, plenum chamber cleaning

Featured Replies

Hi my mk2 Fabia always has a problem with condensation in winter.

 

I can't find any dampness or water in the car.

 

I am going to jack it up and check all the underbody grommets incase they aren't sealing very well.

 

My main plan is to give the plenum chamber a good clean and make sure the drain holes aren't clogged, has anyone got any tips on this?

 

I had a quick look today and there is a separate piece of dampening/carpet on the bulkhead, and when I pulled it back there was a panel bolted in, I'm guessing to the heater matrix for the cabin air intake, would it be worth removing the panel to check for water in there too?

 

Thanks for any help :)

Do you ever have water running out the bottom of the doors when you open them?, especially the passenger door if it has not been opened for a while.

Clean out the holes on the seals.

Have you looked under the spare wheel and seen if there is water there?

 

Plenty condensation threads on Briskoda.

While looking maybe get a couple of Damp Traps from ASDA @ £1 each.
