Quirky Quirky Questions

[Big_Dave]

Here's a quirky quirky question; occasionally my windscreen wipers will randomly wipe once for no apparent reason. They have done so when someone in front decides to engage window washer and I get some overspray, that I can appreciate. But usually when it happens there's no rain about. Any idea what's going on?

Mine has done it twice, wasnt raining but it happened as i hit a largish bump/indent on the road surface
so has something to do with the window being jarred or bumped.

Secondly, is anyone experiencing their rear window water jet squirting water out randomly? I've noticed that my car had water dried water trails on the rear window, I wiped it clean then the next few hours it's there again! I checked the wipers and it's not turned on, confirmed it's turned off.

This still seems to be an issue as it is doing it on my new car which I got the other day, so I guess I will get them to fix it when I get the first service done...

I've booked a time for my dealer to inspect and then order the required parts. They were surprised that it's still recurring on my brand new MY11.5

I usually keep the sensor on but at the lowest setting (since I use the rain-closing feature), then i increase the speed/sensitivity when it starts to rain moderately.

I often see this fault in VCDS too - not sure what it means exactly:
