Ice on inside of windscreen and front door glass
Anyone else ever had this? I've never known condensation in car like this before. I had the plenum drain cleaned out in the Summer as that was blocked but I think my car is still taking in water from somewhere.
I used to get this on my old Hilux but expected better in the A8. |

Have you checked the aircon drains either side of the transmission tunnel, as they're also prone to blockages.
What about the carpets? Is there any sign of moisture/water under them.

You wouldn’t have a pic diagram of where these are?

Look on Audipages for details of the aircon drains, it's a bit of a PITA to get at them. (Or search for Audi A8 orange drains)
Basically they are behind the panels on the transmission tunnel sides, alongside the driver and front passengers calves/knees. So those panels have to come off. The passenger side is easier and as it's one tray with two outlets just clearing that can work as a short-term fix. But check under the front carpets first, if they're dry it's a different problem. This is the Audipages guide, but remember this is for LHD, RHD trims are fixed somewhat differently. http://www.audipages.com/Tech_Articl...tordrains.html Edit: Sorry, that's the D2 version, D3 is a bit different.
