Paley Posted October 3, 2005 Report Share Posted October 3, 2005 I recall on my TT I used to get condensation within the headlight units. This would always dry out when the lights had been on for a while. Didn't experience this with my Cab, but I notice one of the lights on my new Avant has this problem. Anybody experienced this? Is it to be expected or perhaps a broek seal or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milo Posted October 3, 2005 Report Share Posted October 3, 2005 Quite common I think - have a read of this as it also includes the Audi bulletin on it. Basically, turn your lights on for 10 minutes to clear it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UBM Posted October 3, 2005 Report Share Posted October 3, 2005 or you can use a hair dryer. Remember to switch the engine on if you use your mains to clear it.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milo Posted October 24, 2005 Report Share Posted October 24, 2005 Mmmmmmm. After trying to go sailing in the A4 today I have noticed my fog lights appear to be somewhat condensed/waterlogged. Any ideas? I tried leaving them on for 10 minutes (car parked in the garage not driven Saxo style on a public road ) but it didn't seem to help (they obviously don't throw out as much heat as the main beams).

Avus_Bub Posted October 24, 2005 Report Share Posted October 24, 2005 The fogs aren't very well sealed - it's only a rubber seal on the bulb. The H11 is a 55watt bulb , so will get as hot as the H7 mains. I think you'd need to drive the car with them on - just to get the air moving around them a bit. Go on , pretend you're a BM' driver for 20 mins BUB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milo Posted October 24, 2005 Report Share Posted October 24, 2005 Cheers, I'll give it a go tomorrow I think. In true chav fashion though I think I'll only put my sidelights on with the fogs rather than dipped I suppose I should disable the indicators for full effect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UBM Posted October 24, 2005 Report Share Posted October 24, 2005 ANd put some Hovis labels on the side! Milo - you could always take the sidelights off - easy - pull out the fog grill, unscrew three bulbs and it pops off! Stick em in the airing cupboard overnight and Robert is....

This way your foglights will stay dry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milo Posted October 25, 2005 Report Share Posted October 25, 2005 In my defence it was involuntary sailing. The low lying B and C roads around Northumberland were like rivers yesterday and one bit in particular was a bit deeper than I thought Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
