Auto Windscreen Wipers

[henshaw]

Can the auto-wipe function of the windscreen wipers be changed to a simple intermittent system. I'm cheesed off with the things starting to wag like the tail of a demented dog when driving in very light rain and a pure intermittent system is all that is required? Turning the wipers off and pressing the arm for a simple single wipe is not what is required.

Welcome to the forum.

I have asked this before at my dealer to see if they could plug the car in and change the auto setting to a normal intermittent wipe and the answer was no (2004 2.2 hdi vtr). Sometimes I find the auto setting works ok and then others it is really annoying - probably depends on the type of rain hitting the sensor area at the top of the windscreen.
