Thanks for the info Doc.

The other thing is it shows the mileage in km, if it knows its a UK spec then it should convert it to miles?  :wink:

Yeah, that rear wiper is a good one I reckon. It really pee's me off when I'm reversing and the wiper decided to scrape accross a dry bit dirty screen leaving a right mess  :angry:

Must look into getting that one done myself.

Yeah, but the rear wiper only operates when you select reverse if the windscreen wipers are "On" or on "Auto". If the wipers are turned on then presumably it's raining, so where's the problem?  :huh:

No problem with staging i have noticed.
I turned my rear wiper off simply because of ice/snow. The last thing i want is it to rip the blade off and scratch the rear window. Its bad enough having to be careful de-icing the front wipers i often just leave the back wiper stuck and let the heater do its job.

Sometimes the rain is only a few spots but is enough to get the rear wiper to smear sh!te all over your screen even though the front is only being wiped once in quite a long while. The whole point of auto wipers and rain detectors is that you do leave them on and forget about them. Well I do anyway.

When I did a scan of mine in the results it showed the mileage in km I would have thought if it knows its a UK model then it would have converted it to miles?

I did a scan on a 2000 Golf TDI yesterday and it showed km and miles in the results.

Thats what I was complaining about showing both km and miles. I know it isn't a big job to convert it myself bit its a computer programme that should do it automatically.

Does your scan in km and miles?  :wink:

Fair point, I have occasionally left my wipers on Auto, and when the rains been light got a smeared rear window, but it's not something that you can't get round by doing a rear wash to clear it. Snow and ice is a different matter as you could damage the wiper.
