Stopping the last auto wipe once using the windscreen wash

[timmy2take]

With all the grit on the roads, I'm using the windscreen wash all the time at the moment on the motorway. The last auto wipe after spraying the screen does it a few seconds too late and then it spreads the salt on the screen!
Is there a way to turn it off somehow?

No !!

Well you could just pull the fuse out lol

Yes there is, quickly change it to fast wipe after pressing the washer, then switch them off, this used to annoy me to.

gonna have to try that myself, it drives me mad!

Had a couple of cars that did that, drove me bonkers!

Wish the clio had a 'flick' wipe instead.

Other thing that drives me mad is the high beam, much prefer to push it forward for main beam and back to 'flash'!

I've never driven a car with that?

I thought this was just me being stupid! Good to know I'm not alone

All the French cars have the same type of main beam switch. Vauxhalls all seem to have the type that you push for main beam and pull towards you for dip beam.

Think its on some/most VW's?

The flash on the clio does piss me off, easy to put the full beams on accidentally.

 

[sbridgey]

the worst part is realising you haven't switched the lights on properly whilst they are on auto and having to quickly turn them on or risk blinding someone.

I had no issues, unless just using the auto lights, rather than the switch actually being on.

What pisses me off is the Auto Wipers. Theyre just not sensitive enough (and I do have the sensitivity dial turned to max on the stalk). I'd much rather do away with Auto and just have intermittent instead!

There is no way of making that happen is there?

 

[Ezra-RS]

Theres a sensitivity dial? I thought that was useless on the stalk.. Just for cars who don't have auto wipe.

Tried cleaning the sensor? Guide on here IIRC.

 

[Rhauri]

No I haven't actually, I'll give that a go.

Bingo! Used to f**king do my nipples in! Would be like an hour later and it would swipe!!!!!!

Made no difference on my 172 or 182 that i could tell.

 

[Ezra-RS]

I tried too but never saw any difference..

Same, made no difference here.

I find the difference really obvious between lowest and even just 3 clicks up. Goes from an intermittent wipe to constant.
