Intermitent Wipers

[Rusty Nail]

Hi there all.

 

It has taken me nearly two years, but I only noticed the other day that the wipers on the Gal automatically switch from coninuous to intermitent when the car is stationary.

What a great feature - thing is - I only noticed it because the day before I spotted the same feature on my BMW, also after nearly two years. Duuuhhh!!!!

 

My question is - Is the rear wiper supposed to switch into full time when reverse is engaged and the front wipers are on continuous???

 

If so, any ideas why mine doesn't? If not - can this feature be added????

 

Any thoughts would be great

Mine doesn't. I'm not sure if can be enabled in VAG Com. Hopefully one of the resident experts can help with that.

 

I can't see much out of my back window the best of times, someone stuck five seats behind me :o

:o :lol:

 

mine doesn't do that either,i think these cars are complex enough with out another feature like that :o something else that would cost a fortune if it goes wrong me thinks.

The rear wiper on my old Rover 820 used to come on if the front wipers were on, and you selected reverse gear.

The wipers on my 1998 Scenic switch from continuous to intermittent when you come to a halt.

 

Neither of these 2 features are fitted on my 2000MY Galaxy; it took VW/Ford several years to play catch-up, by all accounts

Thanks guys.

 

I took one of the seats out to give me a 2-2-2 formation - so I can see just a little bit of the rear window providing the kids are'nt watching a DVD on the roof mounted motorised monitor.

 

I shall look into the VAG com thingy as soon as I work out what it is.

 

Cheers

Funny you say that Rusty .. I thought I had a problem with mine when I first bought it. No the rear wiper doesn't operate automatically as it does in the "far superior" Mondeo I've just bought ...hee hee.

Oh how I would love to buy a lovely new mondeo Bleeno, but SWMBO and the tight purse string prevent such an extravagant but much desired purchase.

 

On that note - how much space does the rear seat provide? I have three kids, two of which are using booster seats - would these all fit?

 

Cheers
