front heated screen

Postby AW0L on Fri Aug 23, 2013 11:22 am

i have a mk3 fez that had this fitted as standard, but i hardly use it as it is a serious drain in battery juice. i am fitting a mk5 dash in and at the moment i have removed the heated loom while i make up the new mounting points ect...

now, do i keep it or should i sell the loom as it its excellent condition and isn't something that comes up often

your thoughts????

If you're not using it, sell it. I'm sure someone will want it! I fitted one into mine. It should only work when the engine is running anyway so it shouldn't kill the battery.

oh yea it only worked when ign on, but my volts gauge dropped a hell of a lot when using it...
