Hi all

Just wondering if anyone can shed any light on a thread that is going around on the clio trophy site?

Many Thanks

I thought that was just a side effect of the VVT kicking in.

I've had that on mine, masses of condensation on the rear screen when you hit 5K+ rpm. It's now massively reduced since fitting the prospeed exhaust, so I assume it's just blowing out all the condensation/crap that gathers in the backboxes (which on the standard system are huge!)...
That's my theory anyway...

yeah i get this exact thing happen on mine, however im sure it is just the exhaust.

VVt has nothing to do with the kicks in power. VVT switches on above 1.65k and off at 6.5k under certian conditions its tha cams fueling and changing of mapping from open to closed loop which makes the power kick.

I get exactly the same thing, and after some hard acceleration usually wipe the rear screen so I can see back out of it. I just assumed it was moisture condensing on the rear screen after being emitted from the exhaust. And thats what I still think it is. Don't think it's a problem.

i got this yesterday

Yeah think this i quite normal, if the car is used for lots of short journeys you will notice it even more. On cold days it makes it alot more noticeable.

many thanks for your replies chaps

kind regards

its just the water that sits in the bottom of the back boxes that gets sucked up and blown out at high RPM (above 5k) it only happens in the winter

yea just moisture when we got them when there new in our dealership went we take them out there is loads of mositure that comes out of the exhaust so much some i covered about 2 lanes of the local dual carrageway in it
