Title: Wiper stalk - MFA - faulty
Post by: billy_vw on 17 July 2009, 13:56

Im guessing this is the problem - would be nice if others can confirm

intermitent fault.

Wipers only work of super fast and MFA not working.
Wipers does not work on normal speed
Then it may work for 30 seconds  :undecided:

Im guessing the stalk needs changing.
Mines a 94/M non airbag model, are the stalks different on airbag models?

Thanks
Billy

Have exactly the same problem on my mk3 (again) - wipers only work on superfast & slow. Happened about a year ago, cleaned up the contacts & seemed to work fine again. Gonna try this again see how it goes. With mine, I know the problem's back when the wipers fail to return to fully down & off position.
