Heated windscreen.

[CHILLEY]

Hi 

 

  Has anyone (if fitted) used their heated front screen lately, my screen seems to clear the frost of the right side quicker than the left side, is that correct ?

 

  Any answers please.

 

  Regards

 

  Colin.

No, both our Yeti and my previous Superb both sides cleared equally.

[AndyC]

Mine heats evenly across the screen.

Thanks for your reply. I only have two days warranty left, I will take it  in tomorrow.

Thanks Andy I will take it in tomorrow.

Yeah

My old Superb also clear whole screen evenly.

Even though I had several stone chip repairs :-)

Mine has a few duff lines, but otherwise clears both sides at the same rate.

I tired out the screen again this morning, there is a center line down the middle of the screen top to bottom about 6 cm wide, that does not defrost.  should that happen ?

The left side does defrost but is a lot slower than the right, defrosted in about 10 minutes, but still with the center not defrosted.   I am going to the garage tomorrow to get it checked out.

If it's the same as the heated screen I had on my Focus, and my wife has on her Mondeo, each side of the screen has a separate electrical feed, so it sounds like one of those may not be connected too well. 

 

I imagine they draw a fair bit of current, so probably worth getting checked - if there's a iffy connection somewhere it could end up overheating.

Interesting info - thanks!

Yeah - its always is when one desperate to sort something out.

New Year s eve tomorrow -so I advise u to go early!!!

If u can't make it - least try to ring them it might still be a valid claim as u rung in within warranty period!

Wifes one is wonderful. Start car, hit switch, screen clear before I can clear the rest of the car!

Took the Yeti in this morning they have made the job sheet out as from today's date. So i will take it back on the 6th and wait for them to test it out.

 

 Mind you, they did say well is out of warranty by 11 hours. So I looked up to the sky and said to myself stay calm.

 

 I gave them a few photos to play with to upload on to their machine, so they can discuss it with Mr Skoda in the mean time

 

 I did tell them that the Car has only done 9458 miles, and Last week was the first time I had ever used the windscreen heater, I Know I should have phoned them then.

 

 I was asked if I had windscreen cover, they must think I am a bit of Plonker to go down that path. We will see what happens.

 

 Happy new year to all and your lovely Yety's.
