It’s become cold and rainy, and I have big problem with windows in my car because they foggy. I try by pressing all on my Clima control unit, but nothing help. It’s big problem to drive with foggy front windows. I have V8 3.6l 1991. And I must emphasize that when I select window blow on CC it blow really good in front window, but it doesn’t help at all, some time it make even worse.
(Sorry because my poor English and I hope that You understood my problem)

I suppose your flap is broken and don't move anymore.

So the inside of your car is only recirculating air. (REC)
So it is impossible to have dry air.

You must have little hands to change it.( ner the wiperblade and glove box)

Ok, suppose that You have right and that my “flap” is broken. How can I change it? Where it is located in the car and how its look likes? Unfortunately I don’t have service book for my V8. Can You or anybody send me some pictures of that “flap” or part of manual where it’s described? Thanks

Hi,

try to check the inner air filter (pollution filter) if You have it in your V8. If it's dirty, even the most powerful level of the fan can't blow fog off. If You have it, replace it. It must be under the plastic cover , in front of the windscreen (wipers), right side - passenger side - of the car.

Best regards

First I want to thank You all for Your replays and tips. In meantime my clima compressor starts to be very noise. Today I change pulley and magnet on compressor, and it’s now quiet and working again. I find out that my clime control turn on compressor every time I select to unfog my windows (compressor doesn’t work only when I select “econ” on CC). I find out that now when compressor works my windows doesn’t fog any more. But I must ask, is it normal that clima compressor work even when I select 29C on CC and out side temperature is -6C?

Hi,
the compressor should not work at a temperature of -6°C. I don't remember the limit I think under 3 or 5°C the clima should be off
