Rear Wiper Won't Switch Off

[mickeykdan]

Morning All,

I've had this problem for a while, however i have only raised the issue now.

My rear wiper works but once in operation which an attempt to depress the rear wiper lever, it does not switch off, What could the problem be here? The only way to turn it off is too turn off the ignition.

I am also wandering if the rear wiper is meant to have screen fluid released??

It sounds like it is meant to, however, no fluid is release when the wiper lever is depressed once again.

Many Thanks

ahhh the age old question....you just have to push the stick away from you once, quickly...and it will turn off

check in the boot for water, as its common for the hosing to come loose and give you a wey boot

Cheers, Ill give it a go now, The thing never switched off though..

Where can I find the hose located in the boot, as I did wonder why my boot was once wet.

what was it then?

 

[mickeykdan]

Push In Hose connection came apart, hence the soapy, wet carpet in the boot & why my rear left light bulb had stopped working a few weeks back. The bulb body turned green and I was driving around without a left brake light without any knowledge.

The rear wiper also switches off with a very minimal flick now.

All sorted! Only the Passenger window to fix now!

And fit Front Cordoba GTI Bumper and side skirts at the end of the month

And Spray them…

And sort out the scrape on the right hand side rear wing.

And order some Jacking point covers for the side skirts

Not much else to do really!
