Steamy Windows - Heating?

[Fluke]

Last night I got caught in really slow moving traffic and noticed that my windows started to steam up rapidly. I had the air conditioning on cold and was getting warm moist air blowing through. As soon as I was out of the traffic jam and picked up a little speed the air conditioning began blowing cold again.

 

I had the same issue again this morning when I sat parked for a few minutes.

 

I haven't had time to investigate fully, but am thinking that it might be the air con fan? Any one else had the same problem or would like to give me an idea what might be up?

Sounds like you need a regas more than anything. Blows hot until you start moving, then you're getting cold air flow through the matrix. I'd start with that, and see what happens.

Best to leave the ac on 24/7/52 ... A re-gas will sort it

Thanks. I have now had it checked by the local Halfrauds and they say I have a leak somewhere. I did notice it was a little damp on the floor under the front passenger side when I went to take it round to them this morning.

If it is a clear liquid then it is most likely just water from the A/c which is perfectly normal.

fans not working correctly ?, if low on coolant then it just wouldn't cool full stop, puddle under passenger side is normal its where the condenser drains.

I'd check the AC System for Leaks, failing that check your AC Radiator.

 

Check your Cooling Fans start and stop as well to be on the safe side.
