HOW TO: have switchable intermittant wipers
« on: 25 September 2005, 09:35 »
mk2 golfs have intermittant wipers by clicking the right hand stalk down. if yours doesn't move down you need to do this:

remove steering wheel
undo the little screws holding the plate on, and remove
unplug the wiring loom from the right hand stalk.
remove right hand stalk
now, there will more than likely be a small white plastic bung, which is preventing the stalk moving down. god knows why its there but it can be pulled out easily.
check that stalk moves down with ease and put everything back together.

Now, for the switchable part!!

when your next in your local scrappy find a mk3 gti and locate the fuse board. there should be a relay with '99' printed on it.
remove the relay you currently have, i believe it differs for different years.
replace with '99' relay
now when you switch your wipers down for intermittant, let it do one sweep, turn off for the desired time between sweeps and switch back down again.
the wipers will now sweep as often or as little as you desire!

not the most exciting mod, but its pretty much free.
team grumpy....... its a way of life, not a forum post
