We had a vicious frost last night and when I went out inside of windscreen was very wet. I know when I got the car last March it had been sitting out in rain for quite some time and over the summer I have cleared all water run offs (blocked with leaves and cr**) and under normal circumstances...

My A pillars (Alfa 159) seem to be getting damp at bottom end where they meet the dash.Only happens when left overnight in rain and the damp creeps up bit like blotting paper. I'm assuming it is somehow getting in windscreen bond but has anyone come across his or got any ideas?

Hi All, Just got back off holiday and the 147 has give me another little problem to sort... Lifted up the mat in the passenger foot well and there is a slight hint of moisture, a few times my wife said she could feel ice cold water coming out of the foot blower (Air con is always on) but I...

Hi all I have had spurious errors occurring with my car, including High Diesel Temperature (which produces a standing fault) and the dimmer on the display dimming itself down, and putting itself into Night Panel Mode! I've identified that these errors only occur when it's been raining. So, in...

When I turn on the A/C fan in the morning (without actual Air Conditioning on). I get a damp / wet / musky smell, no odour. I have read on many other google searches that the issue could be a drain blockage and water is building up in the bottom where it should drain away. I haven't the...

Hello all, My MiTo radio often doesn't come on after it has rained. This wasn't such an issue but then the power steering also failed in heavy rain and the engine management light came on so I booked my car in. I have a warrantee so they arranged the garage who have come back saying the lamda...

Just for info really - I started getting condensation in the car at times and noticed the boot area was a little damp. I traced this to a poor rubber seal on the Alfa badge on the bootlid - when it rained, the badge filled up with water and a few cc's dripped into the boot every time I opened...

Hi. 06 gt 2.0jts. Installed aftermarket stereo and works perfectly until it rains! When it rains it switches on and off usually straight away but at random.it's very annoying. It maintains its settings when going on and off It just looses power randomly. Have rechecked all wires 100 times and...

Hi All Just wondering if anyone has suffered from a damp 'A' pillar after heavy rain and what did you do to solve it. The Car is a 1.8ts Sportwagon with no sunroof. I have re-seated the seal's around the roof bars and used ptfe tape on the threads as I though it was coming in there, however...

Does anyone know where the water may be coming in, are there gullies/drain pipes that may be blocked and if so where are they situated. Damp is only there when it rains so not a heater issue.

Hello everyone! Just a quicky, When I bought the car in feb, I realised that the inside seemed to be retaining moisture...but as we had a nice summer, thought nothing more of it...as autumn approached and it started raining, i noticed a lot of condensation on the inside... Then I noticed that...

Back from Naples. it must have really rained here. My 166 (F/L 3.0 sporto) has been in a Gatwick carpark getting wet for two weeks. Two curious electrical faults have developed. 1 The boot open light comes on intermittently. It has never done this before. It could be that the boot was bulging...

Just noticed tonight as I got in the car that there's a damp patch under the airbag that sits above the drivers door... how the hell could that happen? It hasn't rained heavily today, the only thing I've done is use the washers to wash the windscreen. It almost looks like the airbag has leaked...

Hi all. Had my GT a few months now, and love everything about it. One thing I've noticed, more than other cars I've owned, is if the weather is damp, the inside of the car becomes damp quite quickly, especially (like this one) when I don't drive all weekend. The windows seem are the worst...
