Hi all,

As my VRS is now a week old, loving every minute in the car. :auto:

Discovering a couple of things.

a) Steams up quickly;- With just myself in the car, the front windscreen and rear windscreens keep misting up without the blowers going. Someone at work recons it's were the airconditioning system has got some damp into the system, and just to run the heaters on full this should dry out the damp. Is this correct?? :confused:

Fuel readout on the Maxidot is playing tricks;- for example filled up the other night and the display read 95miles left did bout 5-6 miles and the display dropped to 80miles by the time I got home. Is it a case of the car settles down over the first 1000miles? :confused:

I have had a missed call from dealer with the follow up call, left a message for him to call me back. Should I get the car back into them for the above? :confused:

Regards to all

a) run the heating syetm on 'auto' to stop.

the remaining fuel is worked out using real time MPG. Perfectly normal.

Hi Gadgetman,

Thanks for the info,

It might be me being thick

a) Auto to stop, sorry does that mean hit the auto button and this will (misting up) stop?

Ensure auto button is green, and this will stop the misting

The fuel readout is nothing to really worry about.

When I bought my vRS a couple of months ago I pulled into the petrol station and filled her up.

She claimed 400 miles to go until next she would require fuel.

After taking it quite easy on the drive home (a new to me car etc) as I was putting more miles on the clock the range was going up.

Some 20 miles down the road and I was now being told 410 miles until the next fuel-up would be required.

mpg and what is left is worked out over your past 50 miles (iirc) so it will go up and down based on that. dont worry about it moving up and down to much when you have a fullish tank, mine can say 440miles after its filled up, 100 miles later telling me i have 520 miles left in the tank before slowly dropping down to about 150 on the last quarter.

Hi all,

Thanks for the info, most appreciated.

alreet boss.

i have a 57 plate vRS. awesome car and cant really fault it, cant say i have experienced the misting problem except when im wet after getting in the car, but thats just normal, try using the recirculate button on your climate control that might solve the misting.

reference your fuel, i found my miles left reading goes up and down all the time. i goes off your average MPG over a factory set distance, so if you suddenly get heavy footed it drops suddenly, ive also found it under estimates it by quite a bit, i always manage more milkes to a tank than it reckons on the computer and i have also done 25 miles after the reading was at zero,

hope thats some help
