My 200 keeps getting thick condensation on all the interior glass and in this cold weather all the interior glass is covered in ice in the inside of the car... I have had back to the dealer they have changed the pollen filter and cannot find anything else but the problem still persists... Any ideas?
Condensation in 200?

No not getting in with wet feet... There has no be a problem with car because when it is parked on a car park in the cold weather I can see there is only my car which seems to have this heavy condensation inside... My heating is always on just set on auto to 22 apart from the 5 minutes I have to have my demisters on to help clear the condensation, I also never use the recirculation switch... I will be back onto the garage Monday morning just trying to find out if anyone else is having these problems.
Ive had this on my windscreen. Frozen on the inside!! Ffs, a brand new car doing that.
Havent done anything about it though as I expect no less from Renault tbh.

Surely this should not be happening in a brand new car though ffs my missus has a 7 year old fiesta which she can just get in and drive away while I'm de-icing the inside of my car!.. Like I say I feel like the dealer is just fobbing me off although I'm sure something like this is difficult to find.

Mine did it over the very cold days, but it's french....
Though I've heard of others having the same problem in other cars.

Have you been "cleaning" the windscreen / interior glass with a cloth? I found all that does is smear and makes the glass dirty, then water will stick to it. Try cleaning the interior glass with a "squeegee". Use hot soapy water (I use washing up liquid, not much water, lots of foam) with a sponge. Then squeegee it off, that sould remove dirt etc and nothing for the water to stick to.
see if you can get a few sachets of silica gel mate, and dot them around the interior, and that'll dry the air out....
got to be worth a try hey! if it's happening on the rear windscreen too, just stick one or two on the parcel shelf.

AC does not come on automatically unless you hit the windscreen button or its trying to cool the temp of the car down to the temp you have selected. If you have the temp wacked to max which I think is 27 you will then have to press the AC button to turn it on. AC only really conditions air properly if you circulate it aswell, so each time it goes through the aircon unit it conditions it further, similar to when you use it in the summer, you will find the air is colder if you circulate the air as every time it goes through the gas unit it will cool down further.
How far do you drive it? how long is the heating left on? If the car doesnt get driven far enough with the heating on it wont get time to completly dry whats already damp. Quite allot of moisture lies in the air pipes.
