Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

  • Fog vs Demister

    Hi all,

    my a/c compressor finally shat itself and I don't intend on forking out the money to repair until the end of winter. That being said i'll be constantly competing with a foggy windscreen, I haven't done much research but before I do; does anyone have any recommendations to reduce fog in the windscreen?

    Thanks!

    Run the heater, direct the hot air onto the windscreen. Fog only forms on the inside of windows when they're cold (the moisture in the air condenses on the cold surface).
    Nothing to see here...

      Make the inside of your car hotter.

      Use your imagination on methods how

          Just FYI, cool (not cold) air on the inside of a windscreen during winter will keep it fog free FAR BETTER than hot air in winter. Keeping the inside glass temperature as close to the outside as possible is how to avoid fog.

            That said, setting heat to come out at the feet and cool to come out on the font demister is the best setting.

                I believe there is something being researched for this at the Proton collider in Geneva...
