Condensation in back light
« on: 28 April 2010, 10:16 »
Have had the car for just over a week now & ive noticed that the back passenger light keeps getting condensation in it? I have checked to see if water is getting in but cant see anything.
Anyone else had this on their mk5?

Also its still under warranty do ya think i shud go to vw?  :huh:

Pretty common, I see plenty of MKV's with this when I'm out and about over the winter months.

I've got this too.

Had the same problem on my last car too, a VW Polo, because it was still under warranty I took it to my local VW who told me that  they only change the light under warranty if the light stops working.  :undecided:
