Can anyone explain why these cars take soooo long to warm up?? On my last b6 tdi it was at operating temp at 2 miles, now it's more like 8-10!! No wonder the fuel consumption isn't as good...
Yep exactly the same here with my 2009 170 Avant , have to clean the inside windows with a micro cloth as they are soaking wet when the damp weather comes. Demist seems to work if you have 15 minutes to spare before you are ready to set off. Roll on the Spring.
I noticed this as soon as we got the A4, the A3 doesn't do it. At 1st I wondered if it had a leak but no water anywhere. I have also noticed the passenger side of windscreen de-mists much quicker than drivers side for some reason! Handy.
glad itsnot just me then.I have the auxilary heater active, but have no idea what it does.Id have thought that the quick demist would have relied on an electrical element as opposed to hot water but hey ho.my wifes 10 year old fiesta takes the **** with its heated screen!
Well I wasn't on about the cabin but yeah my transit shows up the vorsprung here!! I was on about the engine temp really. I have thought about plugging in a camping heater to the car for frosty mornings!
