damp

I've just about ran out of ideas so looking for help folks. Whenever the car has been used and got warm inside the windows steam up once parked again. Tonight for example the wife came home from work, parked up for about 2 hours, when we went back out all the windows were steamed up. I've...

As a newbe just reading people struggling with lots of power and damp or wet conditions,I've recently just swooped my CLS250 shooting brake and got a C63,loving it at the moment,but like a few have said these cars are tricky in these conditions,you have to alter the way you drive or that's what...

Hi everyone, I have a 92 R129 500sl that I have serviced extensively, rotors and caps, plugs and filters, it has been perfect all summer and autumn, I haven't been using it much over the last couple of months but have been starting it every two weeks or so and it has always started flawlessly ...

Another problem. Somehow both side of the boot I keep get damp in the boot, I tried pouring water and can't see any leak etc on the seals And other thing to look out for?

Drove the car today – first time for a week and noticed this…damp on the passenger side A Pillar, top and bottom…Anyone have any idea of the root cause…I suspect something to do with the sun roof…Any advice appreciated…

Hi, I've seen many a merc dashboard - and a lot of them in extremely wet cars. I can't remember seeing these white freckles before. There are three cars for sale from a bloke in Pennsylvania, one of them is a Florida car and that's the one with a normal dash, the other two are local and...

My car doesn't start either and alarm keeps going off which drains ths battery. Someone told me its your wiring under the passenger side footwell which gets wet and croded. Please let me know how you got on and some advice please.

I decided to check out if I had a damp problem today and indeed I do! The foam the PSE pump sits on was damp as was the foam around the roof pump. These are now drying out in the airing cupboard! I was thinking about wrapping these in a plastic back to stop them acting like a sponge if water...

Most of us probably have at some time even after trying to sort the seals and front drain. There is an offer on GROUPON at present for a small mains powered dehumidifer which could sit in the passenger footwell and looks the right size to go in the boot as well. It should effectively dry out...

Just bought a 1986 280SE (reg 1.1.86) with 90ki on the clock. Bodywork excellent, runs well, everything works fine, love the quality. Also got a 1949 Alvis and 1949 Packard to compare.... One thing though - there appears to be a damp problem - car currently parked outside pending other...

Really odd, I drive this car in all conditions but yesterday I noticed the front passenger floor carpet was slightly damp. I was in heavy rain the other day, parked out in the rain but all windows and roof are completely water tight. I checked the air intake under the windwiper arm-cam and...

Hi guys This just may be a characteristic of an 'old' car, but I have noticed a pattern that if it is raining/has rained my car will start like it is running on 3 cylinders. Turn it off/on and back to normal with a slight lumpy idle. Today with it being dry it starts and idle almost...

Hi - does anyone know why my interior would smell of damp (like wet socks!) sometimes, particularly after a cleaning of the exterior. I've also noticed condensation forming on the windscreen (from the blower) as soon as I turn the car on whenever there is this smell. Do you reckon there be...

Had a damp run out to Derbyshire today and a heavy downpour on the M1 and note on the return home that is is damp behind the drivers seat on the carpet. Appears to be under the plastic trim ( cubbyhole that looks like a rear seat) as well. Cannot see any signs of it coming from roof seals etc...

Washed the car today and when i got in there later i noticed the seat belt felt damp, checked the passenger side and that one is the same. Water has somehow got in I'm guessing this cant be good , my car has sill protectors on any tips on how to remove them ???

I have a 1994 E320 with the factory fitted climate control option but when used over an extended period causes the interior of the car to become damp. No puddles of water but just makes the cloth seats feel damp. I have been told in the past that there is a condensor in the system that can get...

any advice will be appreciated..... I have noticed that the floor well including the sides of the boot are quite damp. I have tried to look around the rear screen for any obviuos signs of where the water may be entering but am still not sure. The rubber seal around the rear screen looks...
