Tonight after driving home i noticed that there were some marks on the windscreen that looked like condensation. After looking at it closer the condensation is on the outside of the windscreen.
Has anyone else had this?
The patches are almost across the whole windscreen and is a noticable distraction when driving. Do you think i need to take it to the dealer?

Common thing. I get it with My Mk4 Ibiza (had it on all three of them tbh) cold air from the vents hits the screen which is warm form the ambient temps outside, thus giving the condensation effect you describe

^^^^^^what he said, change the air con blow direction setting so that the cool air blows directly at you rather than onto the windscreen and it will cure it.

Or use the wipers.

I've been getting this too the last few nights - it's due to the high humidity outside at the moment. Essentially it's the reverse scenario of what happens in the winter when the inside of the screen mists up
