    Hi all,

    I washed the car yesterday afternoon and noticed that the left headlight had a fair bit of condensation in it. Never had this before and concerned that it means it's not as sealed as it should be. Once I started the car, the heat quickly cleared it and its fine this morning. What do you think? Pic below doesn't show it that well.

    Right headlight - all clear



    Left headlight - you can make out the condensation along the bottom and up the left side as you look at it

    Interesting one as never noticed on my Q but noticed on sisters new A3 and queried this to be told the units aren't fully sealed any longer to allow heat to escape...I'm in next week for the rear seats and I was going to check with the mastertech

    Not noticed it in my car and thats after a full Karcher Jet Wash, Foam Bath and all sorts...

    I could believe they arent fully sealed anymore for that reason like Nemo said.
