Fogged up windscreen

[Snooze]

Hi guys thanks for your responses. Gonna give my screen a gd clean first see if that helps. I thought having the aircon on helped? I'll try turning it off!

I've had this a few times in the past when the cold damp weather starts 

I've found the following the best way to keep it at bay :-

1.  I never turn the AC off in wet weather (the next time you start the car it will dump damp moist air into your cabin).  I either keep AC on all the time or keep it off all the time.

2.  I give the internal windscreen a good clean to clear the "film" that develops.

3.  When convenient I turn up the heater and fan up to max, and get the cabin really hot, to dry out any damp.  Open the windows a little by a cm to let the damp escape.

4.  Repeat the above at first sign of condensation or after having wet clothing / jackets/ umbrellas in the car.

Sorry you misunderstood me, the a/c will clear it but its the fundamental cause when you then leave the car in winter as it leaves the ambient air in the car slightly moist, hence the steaming up when left.

Took me about 3 months into winter last year to find this out and once I stopped using the a/c and just the heaters it cured the problem.

I've had problems with fogging taking ages to clear with all my golfs, but Raffe's advice to turn air con off and just use heaters has done the trick.  Last few days windows have cleared in seconds!  Thanks

I also tried turning the a/c off and it did the trick! Cheers guys
