DAMP! 156
My 1999 156 is constantly damp internally, is there a pollen filter or
similar that could be holding water? |

If it's actually damp (like the carpets are wet) it's more likely to be an A/C condenser hose, depending on where the carpets are wet IYSWIM If it just mists up all the time, then the filter needs replacing. It's in the scuttle, passenger side (in the UK) easy to get to with teh bonnet up.

Is there any harm in running without one? - 'cos I removed it from the 'wagon when it started to smell of stale ****, and haven't got around to replacing it yet. -- SteveH |
