172 Cup intermittent wipers...

[Ads_172]

... they're not rain sensitive are they?

I only ask as the intermittent feature doesn't seem to wipe at regular intervals, more like: wipe....wipe, wipe, wipe..............wipe.....wipe.........................wipe, wipe.........wipe...

You get the idea.

The FF are I'm not sure about the cup but from what you have said I would say yes.

Not rain sensitive. If they're like the 182cup/trophy you can get a better stalk (dynamique) which allows you to alter the speed of the intermittent wipe.

I has that stalk, so I can adjust the speed of the intermittent, but it still seems to wipe at a random, changing speed. It will generally follow the speed that I've set it at, but it will also through in some random wipes that don't follow the speed it should be!

they slow down when your car stops or come to a halt. then pick up when you move off. never really looked at it other than that. noticed it when in stop start traffic

if they are rain sensative you car will have one of these on the windscreen:

if its not got one of these then you just have the regular wipers/adjustment speed etc...

if you not got one of these and they still change speeds randomly - then iv not got a clue =]

i thought it was a little bronze looking thing at the bottom of the windscreen?

I noticed it stopping in traffic today, but the intermittent thing is more a case of wiping too often for some reason... and I've not gone one of those ^

Hmmm

nope this contains the gel pack and the comp adjusts wipers accordingly

In slow traffic/ when stopped in traffic the wipers slow down. They'll also do a wipe everytime you change the setting (speeding it up/ slowing it down) so could be this, or sensing as if you're changing the setting.
