Has anyone experianced problems with a GT steaming up? It seams to happen when the car has been run and then restarted within an hour or so. Cooling set on auto 19.5 no recirculate air on, the car starts and then proceedes to steam up all the windows in about 30 seconds making it impossible to drive until they are cleared!

Have you got water ingress anywhere? I've had this on our Skoda Fabia (hey, same parent company so practically the same car, right? biggrin) and it was a dodgy door seal. Since the Bentley has frameless doors (I think) might be worth checking out the seals.

A fair number of GT's have the rear centre brake light replaced at some time in their lives and this involves removing the rear window glass then bonding it in again.Some of these windows are not bonded in correctly when replaced and this causes water to leak in and collect under the rear seats.
Try removing the rear seat bases and see if it is damp underneath.

Dealer has diagnosed some air flap thingy and it is being changed under warranty. They have changed a couple apparently so I will keep my fingers crossed.
