Is Heated Wide Screen Nesessary?
« 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.

No problems in the winter once de-frosted  :wink:

when I picked mine up on 2.9.06, the dealer said VW are starting to offer heated front windscreens on golfs.

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...
