• Volkswagen Passat - '99 Passat TDI Heater issue 17 Mar 2010 (Forum)
  Hey guys, I've got a '99 1.9TDI Passat with Climate Control, with a strange fault. Everything is fine with the temperature on low, but as soon as i change it to any kind of heat, i get a vapour and that 'hot water' smell come through the windscreen vent. Although the temperature gauge doesn't work, the cars not over heating, as i drove it 200 miles yesterday with no problem.
• Complaint against a windscreen company. 1 Mar 2009 (Forum)
  Anyway - I had the work done while at the garage and picked the car up. On inspector the work done by the windscreen company as I was not on site when they were done, the guy who replaced the front windscreen, has damaged the out seal that's on the edge of the window on the outside.
• Renault Clio 1.2 RL windscreen blower 17 Nov 2006 (Forum)
  I have purchased a '95 Renault Clio 12.RL for my son. The heater / blower works fine in all areas apart from the front windscreen. When the switch is turned to windscreen, the blower is working except nothing is coming out of the front vents. The four speeds work fine and the other vents work fine apart from these.
• Freezing Washer Nozzles 20 Dec 2001 (Forum)
  Is it just the cars I've had - Peugoet/Citroen/Ford/Volvo - or do other cars have washer nozzles that freeze up. It sure isn't rocket science to use some of all that spare heat under the bonnet to keep things warm. It's dangerous to have a dirty windscreen on the motorway that you can't wash because things are frozen up.
• 2001 Ford Fiesta heated front window 29 Dec 2005 (Forum)
  Does anyone know how the heated front windows work in the Ford Fiestas. I noticed last week that it has the tiny wires in the front windowscreen but I don't know how to turn them on to clear frost etc. Will it be on the same button as the rear window heater?!?!
• Mazda: Juddering windscreen wipers 9 Nov 2005 (Forum)
  A couple of months ago during my car's annual service and MOT the Mazda dealer fitted new wiper blades front and rear. since then the near-side front wiper judders, makes and awful noise and leaves a trail of lines. I've cleaned the screen with methylated spirit...but the wiper still judders.
• Ouch! Is this a rip-off? 20 Dec 2004 (Forum)
  A friend arrived up late last night in her 54-reg Toyota Avensis hatchback. Nice car, but she wasn't pleased about the broken rear windscreen. For various reasons (NCB etc), she didn't want to claim on insurance. So we called out a well-known windscreen company, who are repairing it as we speak -- at a cost of £620, which was reduced from £700 because she's an RAC member.
• Zafia 2001 model - Front windscreen wipers problems 11 Mar 2011 (Forum)
  After the recent bad winter the front windscreen wipers are causing a problem. They appear to be running slower than before and the nearside arm judders when it is parking. It also judders at the park position when it is cleaning intermittently but moves freely whilst cleaning continuously.
• Instant Heat From VW 9 Mar 2005 (Forum)
  Not so noticeable when set on Automatic as most of the air goes into the footwell and windscreen. Do VWs indeed have some special feature? -- I wasna fu but just had plenty.

  We too have always had a problem with misting on the windscreen of our 2002 Honda Jazz in damp conditions. We choose the correct setting for the windscreen...
• Car sunshades 30 Mar 2003 (Forum)
  I was thinking today about those sunshades that are placed inside the car against the windscreen, specifically the aluminium foil type. The set up is exactly the same as the solar heating panel on the roof of my son's house - a glass panel with the reflector placed about three inches below it.
• Focus Exhaust Heat Shield 28 May 2003 (Forum)
  The front part of the heat shield on my 99 Focus went rusty a while ago. It started to vibrate at certain revs. The two front most mountings were bent away by my local garage and the noise stopped. Now, a few months later the noise has returned.
• Ford Mondeo - Wet Front Carpets 8 Nov 2011 (Forum)
  The windscreen is Ford original. My dealer wants £400 to dismantle the dashboard to investigate in front of it. Any ideas
• ford focus windscreen washer pump 7 Jan 2009 (Forum)
  Anyone have problems with their Focus screen washer pump freezing up recently? Where I live we had a temperature of minus 7C.I had never had this problem with other cars I have owned. The pump on a Focus is inside the bottom of the near side wing so it receives no heat from the engine. The moral is to use neat screen wash fluid during cold spells. I thought that the pump had burnt out because it would not even make a noise.
