• Ford Focus II (2004 - 2007) - 06 Windscreen/Bluetooth Problem 23 Jan 2008 (Forum)
  A few weeks ago it was in for a service at the main dealer. It also needed a warranty job done which replaced a relay for the front heated windscreen. The dealer said this was the first such relay they can recall replacing on this type of car and as a result it took them a few minutes to find it. Everything seemed fine - job done - until the next time my father needed to use the windscreen and noticed it still wasnt working.
• Focus - Heated front screen 25 Feb 2003 (Forum)
  All, I\'m just about to get a new (to me) Focus. It doesn\'t have a heated front windscreen although I\'d like to have one. Does anyone know whats involved apart from changing the screen itself. I\'ve spoken to a Ford dealer and was somewhat surprised at just how little they seemed to know.

• Ford Focus - after sales 6 Sep 2012 (Forum)
  Hi, I've recently bought a 5 year old focus from a main ford dealership. I've been driving it a week and have discovered 3 heating elements in the rear windscreen don't work and a little rattling noise from the front of the car when travelling on the motorway. do you think it reasonable to take it back for the dealer to remedy these issues??

• Focus electrics 27 Mar 2007 (Forum)
  The front windscreeen was a heated front by the way, the car is fitted with a tracker and this is linked to hands free function of the phone aerial is one of those sticky things that go on the winscreen with the tax disc in it.
• 2016 Ford Galaxy - Ford BMS Reset- Heated Screen not working. 30 Dec 2022 (Forum)
  Recently we got a large stone chip in our windscreen and ended up getting the windscreen replaced. Following this we then had cold weather and discovered the heated screen no longer works. The car manual states that a low battery can cause this to not operate, so I charged the battery.
• First frost, quickclear and a new Fiesta? 19 Oct 2009 (Forum)
  Mondeo had a new windscreen in the summer, stone damage, the quickclear on the old one had a couple of inactive bands though still worked OK, first frost this morning, had to be out before 8:00, started the engine, heated front and rear screen on, we were off in less than a minute.
• Recommendations - used mini MPV, wheelchair etc. 14 Mar 2018 (Forum)
    Some storage, whether under the boot floor or otherwise would be good I also really want a heated front windscreen in this next car, as I'm fed up of waiting 5-10 minutes for the inside to defrost!  Air con would be great, though not as important. Lastly, I'd like something that is reasonably low emission - with the low tax band to match!

• Use of fogs - question replied to by Honest John 16 Jan 2013 (Forum)
  You MUST switch them off when visibility improves. When it's raining, approaching a car with its front fog lights on can dazzle you, but the effect is far worse coming up behind a car with its rear fog(s) on, even when it's dry - at worst, you can be nearly blinded, especially if your windscreen hasn't been cleaned for a while, and/or you have a heated windscreen with its fine wire element showing (until recently basically Fords, soon to be more widespread I believe).

• 2004 1.6 Ford Focus Estate - 04 MK1 Focus - lumpy when pulling up 17 Feb 2016 (Forum)
  Picked up my 04 Estate as a runabout whilst I took my Golf off the road last year. It's just about to hit 110k, runs fine, but I'm quite OCD regarding my cars running right.  I've noticed this problem appearing when pulling up to junctions or coming to a stop, there will be a judder, the revs will drop, it won't cut out...yet. Also, when I put a load on the engine, say high blower & front heated windscreen it will judder and the lights will flicker.
• VW Polo - VW Polo 2018 95 PS SE 25 Mar 2018 (Forum)
  Are there any must have add ons? I couldn’t see a heated front windscreen option. The only downsides I can see are the stereo upgrade is Beats, which I loathe (overhyped, excessive bass, poor quality sound) and the paint, mainly white, black and silver, with some so so colours.

• seat leon 2015 1.6 - Seat Leon 2015 help with problems.... Please 24 Dec 2018 (Forum)
  Websites that sell them dont give very good info, and dont respond to emails[/b] Possibly insulation problems causing damp? what should I look for?? There is whistling sound on the passenger front door after 50mph, like the window insulation has a gap. Heating works better on the passenger side than the driver side. on full heat it is only slightly warm, with a little cold coming through, whereas on the left it feels how it should, fully hot.
