    Oil Pressure and Temp Gauge Condensation

    Has anyone suffered from this before ?





    Voltage gauge is unaffected, and does start to clear if the car is taken for a good run.

    Yes. You need to use the car more often, or store in the garage with the window open for ventilation

      get some silica gel bags from electical boxes or just a bowl of salt. put it in the footwell. put pot puri in the ashtray if you dont use it. not the salt, itll damage the metal finish in there.

      check for a leak behind there from the matrix

        Checking the gauges this morning, and they were clear, so presume it likely that the heater matrix is cause.





        As a precaution, and as luck may have it, I managed to stubble across these whilst strolling round Costco this weekend;

          If your windows steam up and go smeary when you wipe them with a cloth then it will be the heater matrix. If not then it's probably just one of the miriad ways that an S2 can get wet inside, have a look for the water leak thread
