Belldarr Posted December 2, 2008 Report Posted December 2, 2008 Hi - My Mk1 V6 Galaxy has started misting up all the windows and it takes ages to clear - for instance if it's raining I have to keep the blower fully on and the heated screen on all the time just to keep the front screen and front side windows clear, the rest are almost dripping with moisture. Has this last winter as well ;) I have checked the carpets and they are all dry.Have cleared all the dead leaves out the scuttle and keep the drianage clear in this area.Had the air con (it has Climate) tested in the summer and it's ok (has never been great but think that's typical of the model) I keep the air con on (not on ECON mode) and the screen blower selected on the control panel. What else could it be ???? Darren Quote
jkspoff Posted December 2, 2008 Report Posted December 2, 2008 Most likely going to be the pollen filter, it may well be damp/wet, plus the area around the filter if its not correctly clipped into place may be allowing water ingress. Quote
Belldarr Posted December 2, 2008 Author Report Posted December 2, 2008 Hi - thanks for the reply - have found the pollen filter and could see that there was a load of mulch around it that I couldn't see without the aid of a torch, so I fashioned a long thin pipe and taped to the hoover nozzle and got it right into that scuttle tray, I was amazed at the amount of tree debris that was laying in there all damp and decaying but there is no way of knowing if I got all the mulch out but it's defo a lot better! that pollen filter should have been changed at the last service but I was wondering how you access it??? through the back of the glove box maybe?? Other members may well want to check that they have got this tray completely clear - I thought I had! You need to look in there with a torch and see if it is free of dead leaves etc. Regards Darren Quote
jkspoff Posted December 3, 2008 Report Posted December 3, 2008 (edited) You need to change the pollen filter to completely solve the misting up issues, here is a great link with pictures for 'how to': http://www.fordgalaxy.org.uk/ford/index.ph...l=pollen+filter Edited December 3, 2008 by jkspoff Quote
Belldarr Posted December 3, 2008 Author Report Posted December 3, 2008 Thanks for the link - will skin my knuckles on this at the weekend :lol: Cheers Darren Quote
jkspoff Posted December 4, 2008 Report Posted December 4, 2008 I recommend getting a proper Ford part replacement filter, as they are thicker and better made, for the sake of a few extra quid. Quote
