I have to admit I set my climate to screen face vents and feet, fan speed 1 and a/c off 19 degrees never move it. I found the temp stays quite good. The beetle I had recently which was basic climatic was dreadful at keeping temp. The climate is great in comparison. Auto wipers can be random but sometimes they work sweet. They can be adjusted mind with vcds.

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.


I assume you've tried adjusting the sensitivity of the auto wiper function using the little button on the stalk?

Yep adjusted the sensitivity of them and doesnt help. on a quiet road the sensor cant sense the droplets so they dont sweep the rain away but then the second a car drives by in the opposite direction they start sweeping at the fastest speed then stop again when its dark.

That's a fault - my GTI and now the R work fine, OK they're not perfect but 99% of the time they do what you expect them to. Assuming it's still under warranty take it back to dealer.
