Perhaps a dumb question, but is the boot shut properly? I had this on my '06 Leon FR - didn't realise until 25 miles later.

My lesson learned? Don't let 'er Indoors, with her feeble girl-arms, shut the boot.

if the boot wasn't shut right the light on the dash will show.
but have checked, & its shut ok.

Getting in there will be fun - is the car still under warranty? I wonder if you can get your hands in ... whether you can see if the wire has come off the motor? Failing that have you checked fuses?

in his first post he says he's changed his fuse...

Is this a common fault??? - If so I wonder which year these were built in??..Gee I havent had anything go on mine like this...

have checked & replaced fuses.
without having to strip the cover off, NO i haven't checked the wires to see if they have come off. ( didn't think of that )
well the wiper didn't work on me way home, so i will be ringing seat in the morning for a warrenty jobbie
