Hello all
noticed in the last few days that there is some water/condensation building up in one of my front lights? wondering if anyone could shed some light on this?
cheers!

This happens on my Rocco and has happened on the last few VAG cars I've owned in cold damp conditions.

I've seen this after I've had the car jet washed a few times and that's since it was new so I'm guessing it's normal.
May be worth checking the fitment of the cap on the rear to make sure it's got a good seal.
10 minutes with a hair dryer will cure it although I'm not sure what the neighbours would think.

Had this on a number of VW's.
The way to prevent it is to put some desiccant sachets (Silica Gel) in the back of the headlight. This will a sort the moisture in the light. Put one in each headlight for a week then change for a new one. Should clear it up in no time.
