Auto everything

[MonkeyP]

Is there any way to get rid of or turn off the auto function on the wipers as they never work properly!

At night that dont want to work until i cant see anything and then during the day they seem to want to work at over time the second one little drop of moisture hits the screen.

As does anyone else find that the climate control seems to change the power of the blowers to what it thinks you would like instead of what u have set it on (this is with the auto turned off)

Sorry a bit of a rant bad day at work!

Hey Monk, you can always switch your wipers to manual-use by adjusting the stalk
My ventilation system remembers my last setting, only if I keep this to manual. But if your select Auto, for climate control, then you have asked it to work for your set temp thus meaning it will fluctuate

well when its lightly raining i manually activate a sweep of the wipers just gets a bit annoying on longer journeys

my climate is on manual but when i choose a fan speed it automatically increases it after a minute or so with out me doing anything. i have made sure the auto light is off but it just does it by itself.

If you go one notch higher than the auto setting on the wipers they work like a normal set of wipers.

ye i know the notch higher puts it on constant its more for when it is gently raining.

Im just not a fan of all this auto wipers/lights.

Each to their own but I love it in both of our cars, to the point of buying a car without would be a backwards step for me.

You have to take your time to choose the interval speed to your liking....once set it works like a charm.
I only use the quick setting when it pours or I overtake a truck....

as they are rain sensing wipers they keep on adjusting their speed automatically.

I would prefer the conventional wiper settings where u just adjust the timing yourself. i just find they are terrible at night and seem to activate when its dry.

i know exactly what you mean

on intermitant/auto wipe theyre a joke

our SEAT seems to work fine so dont know why the rain sensor is so bad on my GTI

i just leave he wipers off and push down and manually flash the wipers or if its heavy enough go 2 clicks up to  normal wipers. the auto function is crap

strangely though the juddering wiper blades stopped recently, which is a bonus cos that did my nut in


as for the climate control, i just always leave mine in auto but turn the AC off and on as required.

the fan speed seems to stay pretty constant on my car, though i always have it set to 19 or 20 but i dont think it works particularly well at maintaining a temperature. if its a clod day but very sunny the cabin gets too warm for me and i end up having to turn the stat down to 17 or 18 - the idea of climate control is surely to automatically maintain a temperature?

its not just the GTI though - our altea is the same (have to turn it up or down more than you should), my cooper s had it and it was either blowing like hell or not on at all and my clio sport had it and that was the same

the golf has the best climate control of any ive had but its not perfect by any means

Ye i do the same thing with my wipers but it does get annoying after a but.

ill have auto off and AC off and put the temp at 21 in the morning and fan speed 3. 1/2 a mile down the road the car puts the fan speed to 5 and i have tp put it baq down. if i wanted 5 i would have it on five. this is something i dont understand seeing as i have auto off!
