Ice Scraper really works!

Rather pointless post but never mind!

Last Friday morning on holiday in Tummel Bridge, Scotland. Went to car, temperature 1deg.C, (May!) windscreen completely frozen over. No de-icer in car  then I remembered the ice scraper in fuel flap. It worked like a charm so another reason to buy an Octavia!

After a really heavy frost the Fuel cap flap will be frozen solid, then your stuck

Then just hit the button and fire up the Webasto :p

UK spec cars unfortunately don't get the Webasto and I can confirm that it takes only a very slight frost for the fuel flap which contains the scraper to be completely frozen shut, so if you need fuel best get it in the evening before the car has frozen up overnight, along with the two rear doors which also freeze solidly too and can't usually be opened!

Theft proof in winter > Simply Clever!!

The heated windscreen is the answer! It works a treat.... I even use it in summer on a wet day if we have been out walking and it saves condensation.

Google Norwegian ice scraper. Expensive but you won't go back to any other afterwards.

Heh...better than avensis anyway - few of my friends from my former office had those as company cars. Windows were ok, but the fuel filter had a design flaw and was collecting water to form an ice clog in case of any low temperatures. So fluffy flip-flops - checked, bathrobe - checked, hot water, tee or whatever to give a wake-up shower to the filter - check!

Nowhere near as pointless as some posts...

Frozen fuel cap - get your wallet out and use an old plastic card. Takes a bit longer but still works, unless of course your wallet is frozen solid!!!!

Maybe you should stay in Norway next winter and learn something? LOL
