if the rear wiper unit had been removed , odds are the fuse was removed also. there is a removable panel when you open the drivers door , just around from the light switch .

Job done gm8,fuse had blown now works a treat just got to connect the water hose!!!!!!Would like some advice it's a 2.0 GTi how can I give it some more BHP without breaking into my pension(57)

not really much to do on the 2.0 im afraid. best option would be make the car lighter , as you could throw £££ at it for a few BHP. you could grab a 1.8t engine and swap it if you fancy a challenge :)
