Thanks for the great appraisal Mike...

Really like the idea of a meet at ours one weekend - we'll lay on the food and drink - and the way the weathers going, ice cream

We can demo the new 'Powervalve' system at the same time

Cheers
Nige

Is that similar to the Varex system? (Used is Australia)

No the powervalve is completely boost controlled - the more you demand the power the more you get. Low down torque is therefore not compromised, with the sound change mirroring the power increase, all taking place dynamically in one movement.
Here's a link to the overview...

Next big mod (besides the top mounts) is one Im really excited about!

After a group buy went ahead last year for the golf boys on mk5golfgti.co.uk I was feeling pretty jealous as I used to have one on my Focus and then a Fiesta courtesy car and loved it. Thats right, heated windscreen I think heated front screen and xenons are the two best things you can spec a car from factory with (Shame VAG dont seem to do them yet?)

I have mailed Rick at ricky evans motorsport (also of heatedscreens.co.uk) and had a great reply.

I know quite a few users migrated over to Mk5Golf so Im going to clear it with Steve and start a thread to see if there are four other people interested. 14 weeks turnaround suits me perfectly as when I return from working over sees in roughly that time it will be autimn / winter perfect time to make the most of it!

Very interested on this Mike, just a little concerned in how this would be fitted? If its not too difficult then I'd defo be one of the 5 needed for a GB!

 

[gregdaisley]

I'll be number 3

 

[Tfsi_Mike]

Alex 'vRSalex' on the forums of AKS tuning had one previously on his ibiza so Ill ask him what he thinks about fitting.

 

[Poverty]

I don't get it? What is the purpose of a heated windscreen?

 

[Tfsi_Mike]

For winter ?

 

[gregdaisley]

Leon's are notorious in the winter months for frosting inside and out so this would be ideal to melt the ice in a few seconds! Also demisting instead of using aircon.

 

[cupra123]

My mate has one in his civic type r, basically it allowed him to get rid of all his heater units behind dash....downside is he has no heaters now lol....

 

[Tfsi_Mike]

I have no aircon so makes the issue worse and was a nightmare in Germany de icing.

 

[gregdaisley]

It's such a great thing to have, I can't believe SEAT don't have this as an optional extra. Even the tractors we use in work to tow aircraft have them, so why can't my Leon! lol

 

[Tfsi_Mike]

Hopefully I'll generate enough interest to put in an order

I'm in need of a new screen anyway after trying to clear some snow damaging the wiper blade and scratching the screen

 

[gregdaisley]

Yeh I'm in the same boat mate, the donkey that owned it last scraped f*** out of it and has always annoyed me, right in my line of sight! Do you reckon if you have windscreen cover and a crack were to "appear" they would allow you to use one of these? Or does it not work like that?

 

[Poverty]

so its basically just a windcreen with heater elements inside it?

Dont get frost on the inside of our windows down south
