2) Use a T-25 Torx bit to remove the screw holding the nearside plastic cover on
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

I have a 98 996 C2 with, what would appear to be, fully functioning air con. I have had the car for 5 years.
Recently, the car has started to mist up in the mornings which it has never done before of previous winters etc. Its pretty bad rather than just a light mist!
Yesterday it was even iced up!
Any ideas?
Dead easy - takes 3 minutes.
1) Open boot & remove battery cover
2) Use a T-25 Torx bit to remove the screw holding the nearside plastic cover on
3) Remove plastic cover - it catches on the windscreen reservoir filler cap but can be eased over
4) Under the screen plastic you will see the filter lurking. Pull it out from the centre of the car side pivoting it at the N/S/F corner
Refitting is the exact reverse of removal
Here's mine - as you can see, it's a bit grey & grungy looking. If it's black it's definitely overdue for a change. Leaves etc. will also hold moisture so get rid of any you find.
Don't want to throw a spanner in the works but i also have a 98, 996 C2 and last week my car on the passenger side started to mist up on both the passenger side window and the window behind. Just had a very expensive service done, including pollen filter replacement. Any ideas!!!!
Nick - Thanks for your replies, I will give that a go at the weekend.
David - Maybe the filter hasnt been replaced correctly, hence it only starting to mist now. Or, you have some leaves etc. on it now!
I'm not
quite
sad enough to have a picture of my pollen filter lying about. It was a slow day today, so I went out & took the picture [

That's how I know it takes 3 minutes!
