Title: rear wash/wipe
Post by: rowlers on 21 March 2005, 21:07

is the rear wiper meant to stay on until the ignition is switched off? I can't beleive it is! There msut be someway to switch it back off as generally you only needa coupl of wipes then your done!!


Cheers

when the ignition is off the wipers shouldn't work at all.

double press it to wipe once and stop.

so in short

press once - wiper will sweep and then continue sweeping intermitently

press again - wiper will sweep but will NOT continue intermitently

press & hold - wiper will sweep and water will spray for about 3-5 sweeps then stop


what gets all new mk2 owners is the fact that everytime you press it it sweeps no matter what!!
