Now, I'm not sure it's meant to do that...
What I really meant to say. Regular cleaning of internal glass helps reduce the morning fog you can also get. Plus when car fully loaded with people creates issues. I also don’t drive around with a boiling hot car 20-21 degrees max on heating. My car defo let’s water into door seals and boot seal. Got to the stage I just learn to live with it as it’s a second car. I don’t like driving it in the winter. I bought a superb 2 with heated front screen to reap the benefits of it for these situations. I tried those Pingi dehumidifier bags not sure they worked all that well. Good luck.

Typical this time of year for this to happen. Give windscreen a good clean and get rid of all moisture retaining items. I have not managed to solve this on my octy. Thankfully I don’t drive to work at silly o’clock in the morning anymore.

Hi guys.....................here's johnny......lol
So that’s why you changed up to a Skoda to cash in? Most used cars increased in value so surely buying one now also costs more?

What happened that was short lived. You been over to the dark side a few times and come back to Skoda ?

Or on my superb2 set it to only wash every 10th time rather than every 3rd, something like that.

Drivers door Speakers intermittent fault
Not come across speaker issues usually locks or windows stop working first. Maybe you need to be absolutely sure before you start chopping a perfect loom. The kit is a good alternative to a genuine loom and associated labour. Plus soldering and lengthening the existing broken cables are an option.

Is this the right tool to remove spark plugs?
It’s made for the job but I used to prefer a plug socket with appropriate extension bar and ratchet (1/2” drive) to get the leverage to remove the plug.

Drivers door loom??
It’s not always visible as wires can be broken inside. It’s a very common issue as you can see from other threads on here. So you may need to test cables for a break. From what I recall certain wires break before others.

Drivers door loom??
Do a search on here there are repair kits which allow you not to have to replace the whole loom on eBay someone did this in here also . The genuine loom is expensive. Also you could have the old wires soldered. I had the loom replaced at the dealer.
