Window Wipers Curiosity

[ChristopherFinlay]

Is it just me or do the Leon’s front window wipers wipe very aggressively after you just switch the ignition on and push down on the stock for one wipe is there a reason for this.
Also is it normal for the window wipers to move slightly every time the ignition is switched on and off.

I've not noticed ours being overly aggressive, but the little dance the wipers do with the ignition is normal.

They’re only aggressive when the ignition is just switched on and you tap the 1x its that fast if there’s a lot of water it splashes off to the right of the car

As @Seriously? has said, it’s normal - it’s actually a design feature to extend the life of the wiper blades. That small movement should result the ‘resting’ side of the blade that sits against the screen glass changing from one side of the blade to the other with each ignition switch on / off.

But you can switch it of
