Why does my Volvo keep misting up?
I have a problem with my Volvo V70 (2002). The car keeps misting up on journeys and the only way to keep the screen clear is to use the air con demist.
However on these colder days, heating is needed but this does not work because I can either have heating or demisting. There are no leaks in the car, the carpets are dry and the air con is working fine. Any ideas?

An 11 year old Volvo is bound to have some leaks somewhere. But if you can;t find any damp anywhere, the first thing to do is replace the pollen filter and clear out the scuttle vent well drains.
