Condensation in Headlamps

Featured Replies

Love my Oct 2015 1.6TDI SE tech that I bought Oct 2016 with 3,700 miles on the clock. Truly amazing piece of engineering & electronics but bit peeved about condensation on OSF headlamp.

 

NSF is fine, just the misting but OSF turning into globules at base of assembly.

 

Google suggest it's ok & not warranty replacement but that it will dry out in the summer or I can hitch up a hairdryer.

 

Can't understand why only one unit & why it happens as obviously they are not sealed units anyway.

 

What does a good player do & does anyone else have this annoying issue?

 

I do remember reading in hand book this can happen (mine does it while washing it) and the condensation will dissapear after time which it does on my 13 plate 1,6 TDI SE
