This may sound weird, but...

I have a 55' Fabia VRs, everything works fine and I have no problems, but I have noticed that if I have the heater on full [all settings do work] and put the car in reverse the heater blower seems to speed up quite a bit, then stays on this faster speed till I change the setting???

Anyone else had this?

Thanks

Yes, it's normal, the heater goes into recirc mode to prevent exhaust fumes entering the car.

It's completely normal. It's a VW thing I think. The vents automatically go into recirc when in reverse to stop your own exhaust fumes being blown in.

Oh right, lol... I thought I had an electrical problem. I have had it 2 years and only noticed it recently

Thanks for quick reply's

You'll also find that if you have the front wipers on (even intermittent) ,

the rear wiper comes on by itself when you engage reverse.

It's a good reason to make sure the rear wiper isn't stuck to the screen in icy conditions

when you back off the drive as you'll often have front wipers on too..

( Mother in law did this in our SDI ) And yes I know she must have been reversing out

nearly blind... What can I say... She has since learned her lesson

Yes The ice got my rear wiper during the cold weather at xmas...
