Hi guys

Finally got myself a nice dark blue RS6 Avant and I love it!!!!

I have one little problem though and its that everytime it rains the car steams up in a big way. I have done loads of searches on here and think its something to do with the solar sunroof the car has. Thing is, I havent found the cure.

Please can someone help as its driving me mad!!!!

Thanks in advance

Stu

Hi Stu

So you changed your username then... Thought it was you when I read about previous cars.

I am Good thanks, just looking forwards to picking the Westfield up later. The weather is fine so if it holds out, it'll be a nice drive back. That dump valve noise (not to mention the speed) is addictive.

No probs about the hard-drive info; glad to help.

It was nice meeting you and chatting to you the other night; car looked spot on. I've only ever seen a few RS6's about, so it was a rare sight. Knew it was something beasty as you pulled up (heard the noise and thought to myself "oooh, a V8 - sounds like mine!")

Hi matey

Haha, no I just gave you the wrong one, sorry matey! Im on that many forums and stuff I just forgot!

Yeah, well the suns out in Bolton anyway and it always seems to be raining here so fingers crossed it will stay like this for ya!

He seems like a pretty sound guy, just need to scrape £500ish together now! Haha

Yeah you too, never seen your car about before the other night either! Cant beat a nice rumbly V8, the Milltek helps too!!!

Speak to ya soon pal

Stu

Cheers mate. Let me know how you get on with the hard-drive.

Will take you out in this Westy at some point too!

Will do pal!

Yeah def!! Look forward to it! Ill have to dust my lid off, its not been out since we sold the R1 Indy!

Have you checked the CD changer in the boot? Last time I had Steamy Windows was when Tina Turner was in there.

Welcome to the club and congratulations on your purchase!

Do you have the aircon on or off?

Thanks matey!!! Gone from a TVR Tuscan S and a JCW Mini Cooper S to one car - The RS6 and so far Im loving it!!!

Bit of both with the aircon really, just have it on when I need it?

I have got a temporary fix though..........I have just done the inside front windows and windscreen with Rain X anti fog and it has worked an absolute treat, no condesation whatsoever!!!! I know its not a perfect fix but it will do for now, Im well pleased!!!

I used to get that problem with condensation, but doesn't seem to happen if I don't keep switching between ac on-off too much. Just leave the ac on all the time now unless I'm driving past RS4/911's etc..

Nice car by the way, very 'dark' look

Nice - are the wheels coloured or stock? Been quoted £1600+ for a set of OEM Pus wheels...

Looks good!

My front screen will mist slightly if I switch the AC off after having it running for a long time. It doesn't steam up if I leave it either on or off.

Thanks for the comments guys!

Not sure on the wheels to be honest, they were like that when I got the car and looked powdercoated? Ive just had them refurbed though by a local company in the same colour as some of the coating was flaking. £250 fully refurbished and they look great!!!
