air con

[Wheelspin]

hi team, a weird one and I apologise for not working this out..
first of all its a mk5 gti with climate air, it runs hot fine cold fine, but if I get in the car and am wet then the windscreen fogs up, and it doesn't want to dry off lol, I run the standard air with both front controls set to 19 degs, that doesn't work on the screen, if I hit the button for direct windscreen it comes on but takes minutes for it to clear it off, and If I don't keep it on screen then it goes foggy not much after I have put it onto normal...
the manual I have isn't in english lol..
do I need to have the recirculation button lit to make it work better ?

Yes recirculate will help. Also check the cabin filter and look for excess water on the carpet.

 

[Wheelspin]

well worked out where the filter was, and was surprisingly easy to extract and it was full of crap.
it appeared to be made of a fabric and not cotton as I expected..
I thought mmm 20 30 bucks at a guess...
the vw dealers parts dept shut as was weekend so called repco and super cheap, dam what a shock lol the cheapest price was 74 the next 86 and 107...
I can't wait to see what the dealers charge

 

[zrickety]

They are about $20 here if you shop online.

 

[Wheelspin]

for that sort of money I will, can you recommend anyone ?

 

[zrickety]

I don't know about shipping to NZ, but ECStuning, oreillyauto, and amazon are all good ones.

thanks I'll have a look at ecs tuning I read something on here about cam followers they did, sound like they are a good team...
