Automatic Wipers...

What does RTFM mean please? Nothing nasty is it?
As I said, I will try it out myself BEFORE leaving the dealership, (also just in case it is faulty).

read the manual...with another word thrown in between 'the' and 'manual'....I don't know what it is though

Sweet..will try it out..however, i think on mine, the lights remain the same.

Well..you know what? The light behind the headlight dial do lights up when the low beam is on.

Oh okay, totally get it including the "uncalled for" missing word.
I DID read the "Fabulous" manual actually, was still a little unsure so actually thought this forum
was for anyone to ask questions on???
Funny after reading many posts and mud slinging, I was reluctant to even ask this in the first place.
Wouldnt it be boring if we were all wired the same way.

Thanks for your hilarious response to my query ktrianta, so not need for Maverick to expand it
further, great intro to a newbie though.

I said Read The Fahrzeug Manual, just because there is another version of the acronym doesn't mean I was using it!

Sorry dude, in no way was I trying to be rude with my post...think you've misinterpreted, and slightly over reacted to it as well.

Maverick? Over react to an innocent question ?? No waaaayyy !

I'm not sure if I'm having a problem on the passenger side wiper which quite annoys me.

When the auto wiper option is enabled, SOMETIMES the wiper does not move down completely before it moves up again. As the auto option is enabled and when the sensor does not detect any rain, it just stayed there and until I manually wipe the screen. Then it will come down completely and I'll not see the wiper from my driver seat position. The problem seems to be never happen when I manually wipe the screen.

I think it may be the dirt on the wiper or on the screen causing the issue. Does anyone see similar problem?

Thanks for any feedback.

The wiper will return to a different position each time. It is designed this way so that the life of the blade is extended etc etc.

Maverick did write something up about this sometime ago...and it is a great feature on the VWs. Maybe there is something in the manual, or even if you do a search on this site for +Maverick +wiper

Thanks FJ Steve.

I'll look at the manual again. I searched on this site and I do not manage to find the thread you mentioned. I'll keep searching.

One thing I would like to mention is sometimes when it does not complete moving down, it stays there for a few seconds and may move down completely and moves up again. Does this relate to the feature as well?

[FJ Steve]

yep...pretty sure that is what you are seeing.

[manyoo]

Thanks again

a post from Maverick (albeit on another forum...but you will get the idea)

Every second time you turn the car off the car moves the arms up a little so the blade is bent in the opposite direction so that the blade wears out evenly on each side. A normal car leaves the blade in the one position all the time and the blade deforms over time and has to be replaced a lot earlier.
