ive noticed that most arosas, and many other seats have a problem with dew
in the headlights and rear lights. The old 1.0 had a bit of it in the rear cluster
from time to time, but my recently aquired 1.4 has a whoooollllleee
lotta problem with it in the drivers headlight. Just wondering if anyone knew how to remove the full light or even the side grills on the mk 2s?

Just an idea, but if you can get hold of a small silica gel bag ( they are usually chucked into the packaging of electrical equipment ) roll this up and remove the bulb then insert the rolled up gell bag into the bulb opening ( be carefull not to push it thro ) and leave it overnight it should extract the moisture from the inside of the lamp. You may have to do it a couple of times but it should work. Would be easier than removing the whole light unit.

Does that mean you no longer have your nice yellow arosa?

Whats the 1.4 like? Is it a sport? Any pics?
