might have been fitted incorrectly?
Its inside the cabin on the mk6 not in the scuttle panel like the mk4 or older VWs.

Had this problem in the MK5 and MK6 to a lesser extent. Changed/checked a number of items mentioned above and it didn't seem to make a significant difference.

The only thing that appeared to reduce the problem was minimising the temperature difference between the cars interior temperature and outside when it was parked up overnight.
