Rear Wiper Control


Recommended Posts

Just saw the post about rear Squirty.......

It reminded me - my Wiper stalk is really annoying.

I understand that you should push it forward to turn the rear wiper on? Mine doesn't have a position to "Click" into, it just turns the Washer on if anything....... then i can't work out how to turn the rear wiper off.

I find the only way to turn it off is to push it forwards, then pull it back so the front washers come on.

That seems to stop it but it's not a reliable way.....

Do you think i've got a dodgy switch, or is this normal?

The way the switch is designed would make sense if you had to push it a bit further for the washer to operate, but as it is you manage to squirt the window just as you turn the wiper off and then have a few dribbles running down the back window! For some reason my VR seems to do this much more than the GTI did - perhaps it's a 6 cylinder washer pump?!
