Setting the blower direction to your feet and selecting the re-circulation before you switch off the ignition makes a big difference.
With the electronic ac it does this automatically until the air is hot and can evaporate the water quickly
Nope, just good ol’ fashioned “blasphemy“!!!
I’m using FLIR for iPhone.What thermal imaging cameras do you guys have? Interested to know.
You could use a far cheaper infra red thermometer, also useful with diagnostics.

Infrared camera is useful for thermographic survey of electrical equipment, finding overheating cable junctions before there’s a fire.
You can also use it on machinery, comparing exhaust gas temperatures, coolant flow/blockages etc.
So useful you can probably guarantee VW dealers don’t have it.

Ha ha ha! "Tiring the cat out" is probably a use case that never, ever, ever appeared in the product requirements!!!

The one I use is a Caterpillar CAT S60. About £300 I think.What thermal imaging cameras do you guys have? Interested to know.
Thanks for that...looks quite a cool feature to have already on your phone.
Big Clive on YouTube raves about having a thermal camera in your phone. It’s a great tool to have handy.Thanks for that...looks quite a cool feature to have already on your phone.
I mean when you turn the van off so that you're not allowing any flow of cold damp air to be directed to the windscreen by the wind. It does actually make a difference.
If you always run the AC not only it will be more reliable as recommended by VW but it will reduce the humidity in the cab.
This should reduce the condensation on the glass when the van cools down.

Screen - Excessive moisture
Around midday, I looked in the van for the first time since putting the 'dehumidifier bags' in it last Wednesday. The windscreen was clear and as dry as a bone but the indicators on both bags had started to turn pink. I have now taken them out and zapped them with microwaves for the prescribed...
This thread prompted me to check mine with my thermal imaging camera as I've begun to use it now it's getting colder. Part of the screen wasn't clearing as quickly as the rest, and what do you know - a duff section of heating element. Interestingly, yours seems to be very slightly cooler in exactly the same spot @Dellmassive, although it's considerably warmer than mine. Anyone else had this? My van is MY2019 so this should be covered under warranty shouldn't it?
Is the windscreen heater different to the normal heater and aircon. Is there a different switch? Like for the rear.
