New Arrivals!!

[Carbon VW]

Well!! Just in the door now. To put it simply, it's an awesome piece of kit. I'm after driving 400km today and enjoyed every 2nd of it. Hoping to bed the engine in ASAP so I can see what she really can do. Pics really don't do the car justice. Looks so much better in real life. CSG is a great colour and am slightly relieved as I ordered without ever seeing it. I have pics but gave up tryin from my phone. Ill out them up tomorrow from the computer. Got potenzas aswell, so happy they weren't dunlops!! One small thing though , I did notice some slight condensation at the bottom of the headlights just now. Is this something I should be worried about or is it just drying out some moisture in the unit?
Overall, it's everything I expected and more. Well worth the wait. Sorry took so long to post.

Good to hear Carbon.  Look forward to those pics.

Sounds good Carbon, I await the pics with baited breath too! However, condensation inside the light unit is not something I'd consider normal, but maybe give it a few days to see what happens.  Regardless, I would drop your dealer an e-mail just to let them me you noticed it and will keep an eye on it.  They might even tell you to bring it back in anyway.

I had a little condensation too in the first day or two I had the car and I've had it on previous brand new cars too. It cleared up and haven't noticed it happening since.

Depends whether they're sealed units or vented, if they're sealed then you've got an issue.

Yeah exactly, although I suppose there is a possibility that some of the materials and fixings may contain a bit of moisture that will soon dissipate.  I'd probably just leave it a few days and see what happens.  If it persists, take it in.

I had a bit of condensation in one of my lights which quickly disappeared and touch wood won't reappear

There will be a hell of a lot of humidity on those car transporting ships, especially with the wet weather we've had lately. The cargo decks of any large ship go through extremes of temperature, from quite toasty (when the engines are kicking out some heat) to stone cold when it is dockside - and all the condensation that occurs as a result. That car is probably nevr going to go through extremes of temp like that again (40 Celcius swing) once in the hands of the owner.

Minus 10 in the day to minus 30 at night isn't quite a 40 degree swing!
