wiper & washers have a mind of their own

[fcuknafe]

hello. for about 3weeks now ive had a problem with my wind screen wipers front and back ( but i dewipered the rear anyway now ) my wipers seem to come on all the time and turn off when they want to and so do the washer jets. Soo in the dry weather ive been pulling the fuse out lol any suggestions would be great thanks

could be the wiper stalk mate. i know one of the guys had a problem with his and this was the issue! welcome to try mine on it one day to see if thats your problem. you probably dont live to far

Hmmm i might pop into seat tmz then and see how much the stalks are. Is it an easy job to replace or ?

thanks for the reply aswell!

I have got the same problem. When i spray and wipe the front windscreen also my rear wiper starts. I have to press the button on the stalk several times before it stops. Also my wipers (front and back) come on once in a while without even touching the stalk.

Can this problem be solved with the replacement of the stalk or is there an other way to fix this annoying problem?

My rear wiper has started like BluCupra's in the last few weeks. I do find that the rear one will switch off if I move the stalk to make it wash/wipe. Front ones do as they are told at the moment. I'm wondering if there is a short in the stalk connections - why replace the stalk without checking? Is it too complicated to self repair?

Ive had a little look but culdnt see any thing rong visable. Went to seat today and they said its best to do a diagnostics test on it and see the problem thats £29 then if its the stalk its £90 for the part and £45 fitting


Ouchy! still drivin around with my wipers foooked soo looking out for an electrical garage around my area. anyone fixed theyrs?

Mine has been good today - only went off 2 by itself in 80 miles of motoring... mind you, I have had a word with the rear wiper and threatened to undo it and sling it in the boot - maybe I frightened it into behaving?????

 

[Blucupra]

Is there no-one with an explination for this problem? Mine also does it once in a while. The last day's the wipers haven't gone "off" on their own..

Is the only sollution to replace the stalk?

 

[mr_D]

quite possibly!

 

[NowGottaIbizaMk5]

The easiest and cheapest solution - which I might well do for a few weeks - is to remove the rear wiper completely... but then the rear window gets messed up and no way to clean it ;-(

Does your rear wiper also spray the window while wiping? Glad that mine doesn't do that..

 

[NowGottaIbizaMk5]
