Explain.
Sure. That was a facepalm. In response to your statement.Explain.
I have had fogged windows twice in the last decade, cleared them in less than a minute. I do not appreciate what Ford has done to distract my driving every few minutes without cause, and to blast me with cold air at the same time.The recirculate will fog the windows. On one of my cars years ago I was having huge problems with windows fogging all the time to the point of not seeing. Finally read the manual and it was recirculate on.
Yes I do, and **your** emoji is unnecessary. And I always run HVAC, and avoiding recirculation unless there is some smelly vehicle in front of me.When you don’t run the HVAC do you then open a window to avoid this dreaded CO2 buildup problem?
Well I agree on that. Technically, much better would be to integrate CO2 sensor into the vehicle. They are cheap now - https://www.adafruit.com/product/5187The nanny is just too aggressive. ??
recirculating air does not draw fresh, cold, dry air from the outside (in winter). As the interior air continues to recirculate and heat, the dew point will quickly rise and match the ambient air temperature, resulting in air saturating with water vapor. In short, you’ll begin to see your windows fog up within minutes. It’s the reason why, without A/C use to extract the water content (which each passenger exhales), air recirculation is on a timer.Yes, which makes perfect sense since the source air doesn't have to be heated as much. This adds to the frustration that the recirculate setting won't stay enabled for more than a few minutes.
It's most likely the camera washer fluidI've noticed smelling the windshield washer fluid when sprayed. That, in addition to a heavy diesel smell, makes me think the air intake is poorly placed on this car.
Makes the recirc issue that much worse overall.
Interesting, I hadn't thought of that. I thought most HVAC intakes were at the base of the windshield, not at the front of the car, but it could definitely be that and make more sense as to why I didn't have this issue on my GTI.It's most likely the camera washer fluid
