thing i have found with all A3's is they really suffer bad from condensation. The only way i don't get this prob is when the temp is set and is constantly on...as soon as i switch it off it mists up too. Does this same thing happen on yours? Think its a general a3 design flaw or summin

Frequent cause of misting up is the air set to re-circulate. I have no problems with mine ....

as mentioned i don't get severe misting up. Just moderate/light condensation. May be a leak somewhere?

My 2004 A3 mists up if you don't have the air con on all the time. It always has done.

I put it down to it being so well insulated.
