Whack the demister setting on full heat. De-ice 4 side windows with ice scraper, the front screen will almost be done, just a little scrape here a little scrape there :afro: oh and ofc the rear screen will be done with the heated screen control. Jobs a good'un   :tongue:

But for the purest engine experience, displacement has no replacement. All other methods are simply attempts to artificially recreate the benefits of displacement.

you use de-icer? I might have made this up, but I'm sure I remember someone saying that it can actually damage your paintwork...but then again, I'm sure someone said that about screenwash - and sadly enough, I use neither :lipsrsealed:

It can scratch your screen, seen it! My beetle is a nightmare for this as it has no heat and no demisters, just a screen full of scratches!

the de-icer or your actual tool you use to clean it?
I tend to actually get up abit earlier...turn the engine over, with heaters on, just use a scraper and by the time you have done, the engine has warmed up and the car for you inside and everyone is happy :smiley:

I wanted to ask about this, my heaters are really sh!t, its a half hour+ run to work and they are still not heated up, despite sitting in the car park for a good 15 mins scraping etc.

Now my mums got a 1.3 Mk2 C reg fully original and hers are mint!

but mine has got a GTI interior? Any ideas?
