Condesation in the cabin...

[Slippery_Stu]

Morning All, first real test has been a success, went out to start the car at 6.30, ice and snow all over the outside but crystal clear inside best spent tenner for a while!

Handy thread guys! GF says she has a lot of condensation in her mk3 lately, so think I`ll get her a pingi... she`ll think it`s cute too

 

[Aimez]

Think this is now an epic thread finally one of them annoying mk4 ibiza problems that can actually be solved cheaply!

Oh dear I must be alone in this! The pingi bag turned pink which means it need to go in the microwave, I put it in for 4 mins and it came out with the penguin pic nearly completely gone and the ink all smudged. Left it in the car last night and it didn't work the inside was wet and icy again, think I have broken it! Beware all it says 4 mins on 650watt oven who has one that low mine in 900watt! oops have to buy another one now!

Oh my god that was lucky, I put mine in the microwave yesterday for 3 mins as it wasnt totally pink. He came out all steaming he looked so cute hehehehehe

Sorry to hear that you melted yours! thats nearly as bad as clubbing a baby seal to death!

That's not good! I have the penguin shape one and it was fine for 5mins in the micro. Think there are two types bag with pic of penguin and actual penguin shape. Not sure if it should make a difference if your following the same instructions however!

The second time I put mine in the microwave it fell over and the blue ink ran (that was at 700W) . Mine still works perfectly fine, apart from the indicator which is always pink now. So aimez hopefully urs might still work, just give it a few days and hope for the best.

Had the pingi in the car a week now, and got in at 5am this morning, windscreen was absolutely soaked.

Passenger footwell is dry as a bone. Where else should be checked ?

Has your car been alrite up till today? Does your pingi need recharged yet?

Otherwise it could be something like a door seal, the pollen filter or a window left down a tiny bit, which has happened to me a few times.

 

[Aimez]

Mine lasted about a week and a half before needing to be recharged. I will get the door rubber on the top corner of my passenger door looked at and new pollen filter when my car gets serviced but I am waiting until next month for that as just paid £90 for new headlight switch! Maybe that will help!

Well Pingi the pengiun has been in the cabin now for a week and the only day I had condesation was today Oo.

The sun seems to be drying out my car. left the windows open a little and cranked the heat up .

If any the pengium fits the cup holder and does its job so far.

 

[Craigbarnley]

just ordered my pengi!!! will let you know how it goes

 

[Aimez]

Nope mine is a fail still, getting really hacked off with the condensation and ice has been bad the past week.
No mine isn't an penguin shape just a bag but it said on the back of the packet to put it in the microwave for 5mins. Mine went in for 4 and what I said above happened.
Waiting for next month for a service to get the door seal and pollen filter done *sigh* this kind of thing makes me want a decent car.
