Why Does My Car Keep Steaming Up On The Inside
when it's standing on the drive?
My neighbours' cars don't steam up but mine is absolutely dripping when I get in it. Why?

Hi Tilly2
To suffer so much condensation water must be finding its way into the car. The first place to check is the boot carpet - if it is wet water is probably getting in through the boot seal or the lamp clusters. If it is the boot you can check the seal by putting vaseline along one edge and close the boot. The vaseline will transfer to the other side and any gaps will indicate a possible leak site.
The other obvious place is the front carpets. If either of these is wet open the bonnet and look at the back near the windscreen wipers and you will find a drain at each corner - these often get blocked with leaves, allowing water to get into the pollen filter.
Please let us know the outcome :)

1st, as Geevo,
2nd has the car been Valeted?
3rd, does the car use coolant? Vauxhalls used to have trouble with the heater rad, look underneath & forward to the left of the pedals, on the passenger side, to the right of your feet,
4th, In the boot and under the spare, there is a rubber bung, is that in place & maybe letting in rain Water,
5th, there are various parts of the underside of the car that has these bungs, Passenger / Drivers Side, check these are in place if possible.

Check your Coolant with a cold Engine, the Bungs are a bit bigger than a 50p, round the underside there will be approx 8, but they are different on each car, what Geevo said regards these Drain Holes, as you look from the front of the car they are positioned below the windscreen, in the recess on the right / Left of the car, some cars have tubes that get blocked with leaves so the water builds up & enters the Bulk Head of the car.
