Title: Is Heated Wide Screen Nesessary?
Post by: deanpoli on 25 July 2006, 22:16

A question here for you guys with heated windscreens,  without a heated widescreen, does the climate control compensate for mist and condensation on the during he winter?

and is a heated windscreen necessary  on a car with climate control?

Yes until +3 degrees then the Air con turns its self off to avoid the ac system freezing up  :sad:

I thought that VW did not "do" full heated screens?

so i gather that the GTi doesn't have an option for a heated front windscreen?

also how well insulated is the GTi during winter months? does alot of mist and condensation occur at all?

There is no heated screen option.

Im sure I heard that ford had a patent or copyright on the heated front screen (The one with electrical elements)

I could be wrong though...
