Nice tut Rain!

Did you guys know that the intermittent wipe can actually be programmed - i.e you can set the delay between successive wipes!?

Try it:

1) Tap the wiper stalk down to engage intermittent wipe
2) Immediately return the stalk back to the neutral position (centre) after the wiper has completed the first wipe
3) The length of time between now and when you put the stalk back down to engage intermittent wipe will be the delay set between successive wipes!

This has worked on all MK2's ive owned and i know for a fact it goes back as far as a MK2 1986 8V GTi.

Its also standard on all MK3's as far as i know...

I have not tried this yet but sounds good

yeah i heard of this but it was using a different relay which was about half an inch longer. this works as standard???

You need a variable intermittant relay as fitted to some MK3s and Passats etc.  Goes straight in!  Apparently some MK2 GTIs had it as std but not all of em.  I'll check the part number for mine when I get home tonight!
