The Golf Condensation Syndrome.

[Matthewsimone]

As said already its nearly 2015 shouldn't be putting up with this issue in modern motor!
Ive had £300 bangers that dont suffer any of these damp issues

Myself and my wife both have mk5 57 plate Golf's mine Gti hers Gt tdi and never suffer any of these issues

Mine had mildly misty windows few weeks ago but since then i have fitted a new carbon cabin filter and cleared out drain holes under bonnet in wiper mechanism area and is now spot on

All cars suffer slightly in the cold damp weather but for it to be dripping inside and frost inside etc you deffinately have an underlying issue somewhere with water/moisture getting in

I bought 10x 50g silica gel packs on eBay, I keep one in boot by spare wheel and two in cabin, not had a problem since

They all do it. Changing the polled filter does help as does keeping the inside of the screen vey clean but you still get condensation. I have one of those Kent Cars micro fibre pads,£1.00 from B & Q. When it got condensation on the screen wipe it over & job done.
My mate works for VW & it's common on lots of models,dosen't mean you have a leak just more to do with the rake on the screen & the way it holds warm air which then turns to condensation over night/cold days. Just get one of the pads like i did.

Where is the sunroof drain tube located? I may check mine isnt blocked...
Also where are the bonnet drainage channels so I can check them as well!

Here's what I've done to mine to stop it:

Sunroof drain tube unblocked which was causing ingress.
Cleared bonnet drainage channels with pressure washer to stop sitting water.
Bought a 100 packs of silica gel from eBay and dotted them throughout the car.
Put a small amount of washing up liquid on a microfibre towel and spread onto window (internal) and then buff off. This leaves a hydrophobic coating so water doesn't stick as easily.
Leave a hairdryer in the car, not in direct contact with anything that will melt and let it dry the car out throughout for a few hours.
