Title: couple of quickies please
Post by: negawsklov on 06 July 2011, 07:53
Picked up the new mk3 gti project last night and have a couple of boggles... 

Firstly, the wipers work on every setting bar intermittent - relay or switch?
Secondly, the drivers window goes up half way then back down again unless you press up again when at half way???

Lastly, what the hell is SWAGGER JAGGER !!!!!!!!!!

Cheers
Mike

Wipers probably your relay!
Window, probably your regulator! Best bet is rip it apart and clean out the runners then see if it works!
If not new regulator :)

Window - most likely the switch. Find one you can swap over and see if it still happens.

Intermitant wipe - have you tried switching it on and off? It has setting where you can alter the timing.

Wipers confused me on my first mk3.
Ok click down on wiper thing and back up. So it wipes once. Then wait wot ever time u want the gap between wipes to be then click it back down and leave it down. Then it will wipe like that till tou want to do it again to change it.
If you get what I mean.

If you feel like punching someone for that swagger jagger crap, Sam Pepper lives in Folkestone... So while you're there you can fill his face in.

Trust me, it's a good feeling.  :wink: :grin:
